Holiday On Duty 2022
Your Donation Could Make a Great Difference This Year!
During the Thanksgiving and Seasonal Holidays
We provide meals for Public Safety Personnel:
Montgomery County Police stationed in this Area
Wheaton Volunteer Rescue Squad
Kensington Volunteer Fire Department
Since 1999, the Wheaton & Kensington Chamber of Commerce has run Holiday on Duty, a program that collects money from the community and provides meals for Public Safety personnel during the holidays.
During these times, most eating establishments are closed in the Wheaton and Kensington area. Many public safety workers are handling various emergencies and may find it difficult to locate restaurants open for meals while on duty. For most of us, these are holidays. But not for those Public Safety personnel – they are on duty.
The Chamber urges everyone to donate to this program to say “Thank You” to those who work to protect us while we are celebrating the holidays with family and friends.
Make Checks payable to:
Wheaton & Kensington Chamber of Commerce
reference: Holiday on Duty
and mail to:
2401 Blueridge Ave, Suite 101
Wheaton, MD 20902
