A local charity is working to make sure all families in Montgomery County have a joyous holiday season. Interfaith Works, local non-profit, social service organization, is collecting gift cards for those in need.

The organization’s officials are asking the public to donate $25 gift cards to stores such as Giant, Aldi, Kmart, Kohls, and Target. “Many families struggle to pay basic expenses throughout the year,” said Charlotte Garvey of Interfaith Works. “When the holidays roll around, they have nothing extra for the kind of holidays that most of us remember and cherish. The gift cards will provide a memorable holiday meal and allow parents to give their children that special gift they really want.”

Gift cards can be delivered to the Interfaith Works offices, located at 114 West Montgomery Ave., Rockville by Dec. 15.
