The County Chamber’s mission is to help our members succeed in business and build a more prosperous, dynamic and connected community.  As part of this mission, we encourage all of our members to give back to the community and improving the level of corporate citizenship through active employee volunteer activities and programs.  Not only is this good for the community, it is good business practice.  National studies show that firms with active employee volunteerism programs outperform their competitors in every sector.

Here are some opportunities for MCCC members and their employees to get involved and make a difference right here in Montgomery County, especially on some of the key issues MCCC members have identified as priorities for community action:

Affordable Housing

Habitat for Humanity Rebuilding Together (formerly Christmas in April)

Education
