April 24 Rally to Preserve Our Social Safety Net

2019-01-07T15:21:37-05:00April 3rd, 2017|Advocacy, Events|

Bring clients, board members and staff to the Council Office Building at 8:30 a.m. on Monday, April 24 for a rally to preserve our social safety net!

This is located at 100 Maryland Avenue, Rockville, MD 20850. We will be gathering at the Maryland Avenue entrance of the building. Rain or shine! In heavy rain, we will move indoors to the COB lobby.

The County Executive’s budget includes a 1% cut for many HHS contracts, which will restrict services for some of our most vulnerable neighbors in the county, and make it harder for nonprofits to survive.

Please join us!  RSVP here

If you want to be involved in the planning, email Brigid Howe.

Parking is available in the Council Office Building garage, and street parking is available.
