>Thanks to a wonderful outpouring of support, all the chickens have been picked up! Thanks to all of you who helped with this effort! Cindy
This may seem like a strange question.
Last month I started working for the Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless (MCCH) and we have an urgent request. The Montgomery County Men’s Emergency Shelter just received a donation of 150 whole frozen chickens! Each chicken will provide 4 to 5 meals for our residents. Here’s the problem … we have no way to cook them at the shelter!
We need help! We need volunteers to swing by the men’s shelter at 600-B East Gude Drive in Rockville, pick up a chicken (or multiple chickens!), cook and slice the bird at home, and bring the prepared chicken back to the shelter. You could even add a side item or two to round out the meal.
Please call the shelter directly at (301) 545-5025 to arrange pick-up of the frozen chicken(s). Problems? Call Darrell Butler at (240) 418-1406.
Just a little bit of your time and your culinary expertise will make you the Top Chef for a neighbor in need.

I’m happy to announce that all the chickens have been picked up now, as I found out when I dropped off my cooked chicken last night.
Thank you Sarah! People did say that they helped because of Rockville Central. I dropped mine off this morning and the men really made a point of thanking me, which was so grateful of them. Those chickens were really frozen!
