The 3rd Annual MCVC United for Veterans Dinner has been cancelled due to the ongoing pandemic.

Allow me to begin by expressing my sincerest gratitude for your support of the Montgomery County Veterans Coalition (MCVC). Without supporters like you, we would not have a unified voice in advocating for veterans in our community. Unfortunately, we must cancel our biggest fundraiser of the year, the United for Veterans Fundraising Dinner on April 3rd. The MCVC Board Members and I want to ensure the health and safety of our aging veterans. After much consideration, we have decided not to reschedule, because in times such as these, our focus and attention needs to be directed toward the needs of our Veterans and our community.

We have been blessed that many ticket holders have changed their purchase into a donation.  While the cancelation of the dinner will leave the Coalition short of our funding needs, the donations of tickets and tables will go a long way in helping us reach our mission. We have always turned to our community in times of need and now is no different. If you are financially able, we ask that you consider becoming a one time or monthly donor. You are not alone. Together, we will get through this time of crisis through the trust and collaboration we have built through the years.
