Montgomery County Coaltion for the Homeless

The Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless leads the effort to end homelessness in our community by creating housing options, providing supportive services, and facilitating collaboration, education and advocacy based on the belief that every person is entitled to the dignity of a home.

The Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless, a community-based nonprofit organization, is a leading provider of permanent and transitional housing, emergency shelter and supportive services for people experiencing homelessness. The Coalition is also an umbrella membership organization serving the provider network in Montgomery County through advocacy efforts, program coordination and educational activities. In addition, the Coalition spearheads a collaborative effort to implement a 10-year plan to end homelessness, “Homelessness in Montgomery County: Beginning to End.”

Starting on November 1st we see a substantial increase in the number of homeless men we serve at our men’s shelter, the Home Builders Care Assessment Center (HBCAC). The number of men served increases to upwards of 200 men each day. We serve these 200 men three meals a day and these meals consists almost entirely of volunteer donations. Don’t feel obligated to contribute the entire 200 meals but any number of meals would be accepted and greatly appreciated!

Hot Meals: Volunteers can make and deliver hot breakfasts, lunches or dinners to the HBCAC in Rockville.  Volunteers provide all necessary supplies and all food must be pre-cooked at home. Dinner and lunch are served 7 days a week (as available), and hot breakfasts are served on weekends only.  Meals must be able to be reheated in a microwave or convection oven as there is no stove on the premises.  Serving of food may be arranged per special request.  This is a great project for groups, and SSL credit is available. This is a great opportunity for families and children are allowed to come serve as long as there is proper adult supervision.
