More than 10 Montgomery County businesses and corporations participated in landscaping projects at housing sites for formerly homeless adults and families for Workforce for Good, a day of service projects coordinated by Corporate Volunteer Council of Montgomery County in partnership with Potomac-based Shulman, Rogers, Gandal, Pordy, & Ecker P.A.
Eighty volunteers took part in all aspects of landscaping including raking leaves, putting new mulch down, planting flowers, trimming bushes, and more at nine permanent housing locations and a men’s emergency shelter operated by Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless, a nonprofit that provides solutions to end homelessness through their permanent housing programs, Safe Haven first-step housing program, emergency shelter and supportive services to close to 1,600 men, women, and children.
“We couldn’t have been more thrilled to have such a strong show of support from the business community,” said Susie Sinclair-Smith. “Their volunteer service demonstrates the strong presence of volunteer service that exists in Montgomery County.”
Businesses and corporations that participated in this day included: ActivEngage, C. Fox Communications, Chazin & Company, DeLeon & Stang, CPAs & Advisors, Gaithersburg Germantown Chamber of Commerce, M&T Bank, Maryland Public Health Association, Monument Bank, Shulman, Rogers, Gandal, Pordy, & Ecker P.A., SNI Companies and The Gazette.
