Thank You
We are so impressed by the enormous donation from some of our smaller volunteers! Cole (l) and Tate (r) served as Captains in their neighborhood food drive. They collected 387 food items to donate to the HVCC Food Pantry! We want to thank all of their neighbors for contributing so generously, and we can't express enough how amazed we are by Tate and Cole's hard work and spirit. Click on the image to enlarge it.

A group of students at Rockville High School came up with a fantastic idea to help out in their community! Their "Lend a Helping Hand" fundraiser sold tickets to students who could then paint their handprint on a wall in the senior lounge. They were able to raise $220 for HVCC! Great job to these enterprising students, and our thanks to all those at RHS whose handprints show their support of HVCC.
