MCFJCF Benefit Will Combat Domestic Abuse in Montgomery County

Rockville, Maryland: A benefit to raise funds to support the Montgomery County Family Justice Center will be held on Sunday, October 21st from 5:00-8:30 pm at the Rockville Hilton, 1750 Rockville Pike. The theme of this year’s benefit is “This Is A Different Time. Rise Up!” #RiseUp2018

Since it’s opening in 2009, the Center has served over 10,000 clients.
