The MCEAP’s mission is to assist Montgomery County residents in maintaining their households and restoring their self-sufficiency, achieved by serving the immediate, emergency, and temporary needs of low-income, unemployed, elderly or handicapped individuals and families. Dick says, “We know that every penny donated will go to help our community with food, clothing, household items, and/or financial assistance. Our SERVE team is excited to learn that the MCEAP program will now be delivering meals weekly to seniors. Meals are prepared, packaged, and delivered by MCEAP volunteers.”
