Melvin Henry Center and the Business

of Giving
Melvin Henry Center would like to thank all the volunteers and donors who
have helped the organization sustain free and open access to clothes, shoes,
toys, and food for Citizens of the Maryland and the West Virginia Panhandle,
as volunteers create fundraising events in northern Frederick County necessary
for funding a partnership with the Maryland Food Bank.
As an upstart 501 (C) (3) public charity whose mission is to serve adults
with disabilities by expanding their access to workforce skills training, safe
on-the-job learning experiences, and independent living options, 100 percent
of the work performed for the organization is without compensation. Melvin
Henry Center is seeking volunteers and board members.
Community activities include community outreach at Thurmont Colorfest
on October 10, 2015, Tie Dye Cookout on September 19, 2015, and a 5K
Family Fun Run and Senior Stroll on October 17, 2015, at Mount St. Mary’s
University (see advertisement on page 12).
It is the support of numerous volunteers that makes these activities possible
and sustains Melvin Henry Center’s service to those in need. The gifting
and resale of donated items is the cornerstone for sustaining our presence
in the community, as we complete renovations necessary for accreditation
by the National Center for Construction Education Research and Interstate
Renewable Energies Council.
Call 301-807-5464 or email wzimmerman@melvinhenry.org for more
