As you know, this year we tried something different. Instead of our annual gala we tried to reach more people with our MUM’s Non-Event Fundraising Campaign. We gave ourselves a deadline of October 20 to raise $25,000. As of this writing we are only a little over $5,000 away! We don’t have that far to go. And with YOUR help we can still make that goal!

This is the last week of MUM’s Non-Event Fundraising Campaign, and we still have a way to go to reach our goal of $25,000 by this Saturday, October 20! Please help MUM help our clients—your neighbors—right here in Montgomery Count.

We are already into the second week in October and still have a long way to go to reach our goal of $25,000 by October 20; thus this update, reminder, and appeal. Please help MUM help our clients—your neighbors—right here in Montgomery County. Your generous financial contributions go directly to providing food, housing and utility assistance, and vital medical and prescription assistance for individuals and working families who struggle to make ends meet.

MUM awarded outgoing Montgomery County Executive, Isiah “Ike” Leggett with a commemorative engraved rock in honor of his support for the organization during his tenure.

Housing eviction is a lose-lose proposition. Each situation may be different, but the results are pretty much the same: individuals and families no longer have a place to live, and landlords have more often than not had to go through a frustrating, costly procedure that the vast majority would hope to avert if at all possible. Still, eviction happens.
