MCDOT's Ride On depot personnel are providing a
little more than reliable transit services and customer service to the
community – they are providing support and hope to the needy.
All Ride On depots – Nicholson Court,
Gaithersburg, and Silver Spring - participated in collecting household items to
be donated to The Helping Hands Shelter in Rockville, a shelter that hosts both
men and women with children.
The collection started May 16 and ended on June 13 and all items were delivered to the shelter on July 14.
MCDOT bus operators, supervisors, and road
coordinators interact with more County residents than any other department in Montgomery County.
They see, interface with, and provide service to persons from all walks of
life, including the homeless. We are sincerely proud that they decided on
their own to do something tangible to make a difference in the lives of others.
“The donated items will be making a difference in the lives of our most faithful Ride On customers. Doing good and providing excellent customer service is the essence of who we are and what we stand for as a Ride On Family.” Helping Hands Shelter
