How You Can Help

Big things are happening at GROWS! Grab this chance to become involved in our exciting advocacy, education and networking activities. Make your GROWS' membership work for you and for the seniors in Montgomery County! How? By serving on a committee or by becoming a member or donor. However you help, you or your organization will be clearly thanked and recognized to the GROWS membership and many others.

Don't sit on the sidelines. GROWS' committees and task forces are working hard to educate the community including public policymakers, and to create services to help seniors and caregivers. Committees and task forces are essential to GROWS ' grass root success. They are an excellent way to meet others who care about seniors. No matter what your skills are or how much time you have there is an important role for you with GROWS. There also are many ways to help through financial contributions.

Below is a list of GROWS committees. Take a look. Please let us know how you can help and your area of interest by completing the response form on the last page and mail it to GROWS, 11215 Seven Locks Road-A, Potomac, MD 20854.

On behalf of GROWS, thank you in advance for your help. It is through our collective efforts that we will make Montgomery County a place where all seniors, especially the frail, have the dignity, opportunities and independence we all seek and deserve.
