| REDI Is Looking For a Few Good Answers |
In order to gauge the successes of our local businesses over the past year, we ask you to take a few minutes to complete our
2015 Business Survey.
While it should take 10 minutes or less of your time, the input will help us better understand the hurdles facing your business as it attempts to grow.
Your feedback is crucial for REDI to accomplish its mission of strengthening and broadening the City's economic base through entrepreneurship, expansion, retention, and recruitment programs.
In order to increase our reach with the survey, please feel free to share it with other Rockville-based businesses.
We thank you in advance!

| Rockville's Holiday Food Drive |
While Rockville sits at the heart of one of the nation's most prosperous counties, some might be surprised to hear what some people face every
 day in our community.
In the City of Rockville:
- 1 in 16 children lives in poverty.
- More than 4,600 residents experience chronic food insecurity.
- 2,800 students in Rockville schools qualify for free and reduced-price meals.
Through the years, a tradition of community service has been established in Rockville. The city's annual Holiday Drive, which helps over 500 Rockville families during the holiday season, collects and distributes food for Thanksgiving meals in November and toys and gifts in December to hundreds of Rockville children, families and seniors.
The city invites you to support your Rockville neighbors by contributing to the Holiday Drive this year. To learn how you or your business can help, email Carlos Aparicio in Rockville's Community Services Division or call him at
240-314-8303.
