Montgomery County's Alcohol Beverage Services and UFCW Local 1994 MCGEO are supporting the "Labor of Love" initiative from November 23 through December 31 to benefit the March of Dimes, encouraging customers to donate or round up their purchases. The campaign aims to raise $90,000 to support maternal health and healthy beginnings for newborns, building on the $66,793 raised by ABS customers in 2024, according to the Montgomery County.
Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich praised the initiative, saying, “March of Dimes is committed to helping families by supporting research, offering numerous programs, and providing education and advocacy so that every family has the resources needed as they welcome a new member to the family." ABS and MCGEO’s continued support demonstrates their dedication to improving the lives of mothers and babies in the community.
The funds collected through "Labor of Love" support research and advocacy for mothers and babies. “ABS joins March of Dimes in the steadfast belief that working together we can make sure that moms and babies have the best possible start,” said ABS Director Kathie Durbin. ABS, Montgomery County's alcoholic beverage wholesaler, also operates 27 retail stores and oversees alcohol licensing, enforcement, and education, with profits helping fund county services and reduce debt.
