Volunteer Council Supports Shepherd’s Table

The Corporate Volunteer Council of Montgomery County (CVC-MC) annual board retreat was held on Monday, November 5 at the Bethesda Chevy Chase Chamber of Commerce. In conjunction with its meeting, the board participated in its own community service project. For the second year in a row, board members rolled up their sleeves and made 120 bag lunches for Shepherd’s Table in Silver Spring.
