Montgomery County is organizing a huge county-wide program during the Martin Luther King, Jr/Inauguration weekend to address the dire economic situation in our county and to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King. The county's goals are ambitious. We hope to raise $100,000 to meet the challenge of a generous donor to the Montgomery County Community Foundation and to collect food to refill the shelves at the Manna Food Center. There are two ways you can get involved:
Visit www.yesmontgomerycan.org in the coming weeks to register your support, contribute to the Community Foundation's "Neighbors in Need Montgomery Fund," donate food to the Manna Food Center, and volunteer your time. Start: 6:45 pm
End: 10:45 pm
