“It’s absolutely breathtaking the way they rally around our families,” said Craig Rickett, associate director of Montgomery County Job and Family Services Children Services Division.
In addition to donations, FLOC also offers multiple activities throughout the year, including tutoring and other programs, Rickett said.
Doug Mann, a volunteer with FLOC, said he loves giving back and the holiday season is his favorite part of the year.
“Giving back to the community is my Christmas,” he said.
Rickett stressed the importance of different partnerships between volunteers and agencies to help strengthen the community.
“It’s the community coming together,” he said. “Not any one of us could do this by ourselves. But FLOC and all of their donors and partners partnering with us is absolutely amazing.”
