MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD — Tickets are available for the Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless' Garden Gala 2023, to help raise money for the organization's Path to Home Campaign.

With a goal of $225,000, the Path to Home Campaign enables MCCH to continue to offer emergency shelter for 200 men, support the Safe Haven shelter for 17 veterans, and provide supportive housing for 600 households, according to a release.

The 2023 Garden Gala will take place on May 10, at the Glenview Mansion in Rockville. An award-winning student jazz group will be performing at the event, where attendees may sample delicious food and hear a compelling story from a program participant. Tickets are available for purchase online.
