Contact-free way to provide immediate help to families in need! Wednesdays at 3 PM.
The Mid-County Consolidation Hub at Hughes United Methodist Church provides a variety of goods and services to more than 800 households each week, including home deliveries to seniors, single parent households, and those without transportation.
Using your own vehicle, drive bags of food and other essential items and deliver outside a family's door. Bags will be loaded into your car and you will receive a list of addresses (usually 4 to 6 depending on the number of client referrals and drivers signed up for the day). Volunteers drop off at the client's doorstep and send a text saying that their food was delivered. Deliveries are in nearby Wheaton/Glenmont and Silver Spring, and typically take an hour to complete (up to two at most).
Drivers enter the Hughes United Methodist Church lot from Windham Lane and pull up in front of the metal stairs that lead to the gym. Must be adults (over 18) and sign a liability waiver, and should be comfortable lifting up to 20-25 pounds.
All volunteers must register in advance on the Hughes UMC Hub SignUp Genius page. Use the link below to check for available slots and to sign up for one or more dates:
