Residents Vaccinated at Clinic and Food Distribution Site at Lakeforest Mall

Nonprofits Cross Community and MobileMed partnered to offer a food distribution site and COVID-19 vaccine clinic at Lakeforest Mall in Gaithersburg.

A food distribution was held at the mall on April 8. Residents were invited to register for a vaccine appointment and return Friday to get vaccinated, and pick up a box of food on their way out. About 135 people who participated in Thursday’s food distribution registered for Friday’s clinic.

MyMCM spoke with organizers and residents who received their vaccines.
