Testimonials
Thank you for all the help on behalf of my family, and I say a thousand thanks to all the volunteers and people who donate food to each one. God bless you thank you very much. It is a great help to the community.
I am so thankful that Gaithersburg HELP has repeatedly helped us by providing food and diapers when we have had nothing to put in our mouths. We have been able to provide food for the children thanks to the help of the Gaithersburg HELP.
We are grateful for the help we receive from Gaithersburg HELP, especially now that we are not working.
I want to thank all the volunteers, each person who donates food for our families to each one, thank you very much. God bless you greatly on behalf of my family and I say thank you for all your help for the whole community. And that is an excellent program.
I don’t have money right now to buy very much food and this helps me so that I can pay my other bills. Thank you!
I just wanted to say thank you for all your help.We received a number of your packages here at our house. I’m mostly recovered from COVID. I tested negative and just have a little cough. I no longer need the food help, but I really appreciate everything you were able to do for me and for my daughter, who is doing really well. I can’t thank you guys enough and I really am appreciative.
For me, it’s the best pantry I’ve ever visited and they give you good stuff! They are so organized. They are also very pleasant.
