Empowering Families in Times of Adversity

Addressing Surging Demand for Vital Services

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on families in the South Montgomery County area, with the demand for Interfaith's food pantry and crisis assistance services surging by nearly 46%. This influx of need has placed significant strain on the organization's resources, making the Waste Connections' donation all the more crucial. The funds will allow Interfaith to better address the heightened requirements and continue providing essential support to those struggling within the community.

Ensuring Children's Well-being During Summer Months

The summer months often pose unique challenges for families, as they strive to provide daily meals, snacks, and supervised care for their children when school is out. Interfaith's President and CEO, Missy Herndon, expressed deep gratitude for Waste Connections' support, stating that the generous gift will help feed food-insecure families and assist them with rent, mortgage, and utility payments. Additionally, the funds will bolster Interfaith's Kits 4 Kidz School Supplies Assistance Program, ensuring that students have the necessary supplies and backpacks as they return to the classroom.

Sustaining Vital Nutrition Programs

The Waste Connections' donation will also aid Interfaith's weekend nutrition program for students, ensuring that children continue to receive the nourishment they need when they return to school. This comprehensive approach to supporting families' basic needs demonstrates Interfaith's unwavering commitment to the well-being of the local community.

Fostering Collaborative Efforts

The success of the Waste Connections Golf Classic for Kids is a testament to the power of collaboration. Michelle Little, the Vice President of Community Affairs and Corporate Giving at Waste Connections, expressed gratitude for the ongoing generosity of the company's vendors, employees, and volunteers, who have come together to support this event and make a tangible difference in the lives of countless children and families throughout Montgomery County.
