$230,000 has been cut by the government from local non-profits that serve those in Frederick who are most in need. We are calling all of Frederick to fast for 48 hours on June 16th and 17th and give whatever money they would normally spend on food to one of those organizations (listed below). Specifically, the first five organizations together cover the needs for the homeless. Listed next to each organization is the amount they had cut. If only 8% of the 87,000 family units in Frederick give $50 each we could cover the cuts. We can do this Frederick!

We can do this! If 8% of Frederick County households donate $50 during the two-day FAST, more than $370,000 will go to help families facing financial crisis.
