Fannie Mae Foundation: Help the Homeless

Our Help the Homeless program had a great turnout. We are pleased to announce that we had 5 mini-walks, including one by WUMCO itself. "Youth engagements" - discussions with youth concerning homelessness were also conducted. In 2005 we received $15,135 stemming from our mini-walks and other activities in 2004.

Community Foundation

Since 1986 we have received funds each year from this source - starting with the Community Foundation for Montgomery County, in later years all from the National Capital Region, We now anticipate funds from either or both of these sources.

Covanta Energy Corporation

Our strongest support in the business community has come from Covanta Energy, which for over 10 years has contributed significantly to our holiday food and toys programs, and since 1998 has donated $2,000 or more each year specifically towards administrative expenses.

Community Ministries Montgomery County

We receive great support from CMMC each year, including the Thanksgiving in February Fundraiser in which the entire community pitches in, and the Emergency Assistance Coalition of which we are a member.
