If you're interested in serving on the Board, please send a letter of interest and your résumé to FCGBoards@FrederickCountyMD.gov or mail it to the Office of the County Executive at 12 East Church Street, Frederick, MD 21701, by 4 p.m. on Wednesday, December 10.

These initiatives are designed to ensure that no one in Frederick County goes unsupported during this challenging time. For more information on available resources, please visit FrederickCountyMD.gov/Federal. Together, we will continue to stand by our community.

To address this need, we are launching a new grant program called HEART: Helping Empower Area Resources Together, which will provide grants of up to $50,000 to organizations delivering vital services to residents. I am requesting up to $1 million for local food assistance due to high demand.
