We are also collecting holiday gift bags with 3-4 small items, holiday cards & snack bags for residents at Charter House. You can read more and sign up using this link - https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0844A4A728A6FA7-45602858-holiday#/

Making snack bags is a great family and group volunteer opportunity. You will buy or collect the supplies and then decorate and assemble the bags.

AHC has three properties in Montgomery County. The on-site Resident Services teams organize a variety of fun and educational events. Snack bags help us fight food insecurity and encourage engagement.

Snack bags are paper lunch bags filled with a small water bottle and 3 small snack items (crackers, Goldfish, chips, cookies, etc). Decorating the bags is fun but optional.

Delivery options include Charter House, 1316 Fenwick Lane, Silver Spring, and Allium Place, 4024 Gannon Drive, Silver Spring.

We have some flexibility in delivery dates (no weekend options). If you're interested in the project and need a different delivery time, email us at volunteer@ahcinc.org

When families move into AHC's affordable housing communities, we like to give them Welcome Bags filled with essential household supplies to say "welcome home."

Volunteers will purchase items and assemble the bags. The bag can be a reusable grocery size bag, small laundry basket, or bucket. For purposes of hygiene and dignity, we ask that all items are new, unopened and unused. Please make sure items fit into the bags and limit your donations to the items listed below. We do not have the space or capacity to accept other items. Most volunteers find it useful and cost-effective to purchase items in bulk, as long as each final product has all the necessary items in it.  We have a one-click link to make purchasing easy. Email us at volunteer@ahcinc.org for more information. Thank you!

A complete bag includes:

We are collecting welcome baskets for properties in Montgomery County and all across the DMV. 

I want to help! What now? Please reach out to volunteer@ahcinc.org to express interest, coordinate delivery, or with any questions.

Distribute boxes of food, including fruit, vegetables and canned goods, to low income senior citizens at AHC's Charter House, an affordable housing apartment building located in Silver Spring. Volunteers will bring food inside building to 2nd floor lobby using carts & elevators. Residents will pick up food boxes.

Volunteers should be friendly and reliable, able to work in a small group and independently. Food boxes weigh between 20-40 pounds so volunteers must be able to lift that amount onto tables & carts.

Help needed on:
3rd Thursday of Each Month - 10:30 am - 12:45 pm

Email us at volunteer@ahcinc.org if you can help or would like more information. We are looking for volunteers who can commit to helping once a month but will take one-time volunteers too.
