For drop off or Amazon donations the Upcounty HUB is requesting specific items:
* Assembled Gender-Neutral Baskets

Donations for their Easter Basket Drive are being accepted through March 16.
According to Montgomery County Councilmember Nancy Navarro, “BlackRock has stepped up to provide live-saving support to their community. The county is replicating the model at the Upcounty Consolidation of HUB in other areas. [Their] work will go down in history in terms of what has been done for your community and beyond.”
