Volunteering Lifts us All

We have a knack for attracting individuals whose passion for ‘making things better’ extends beyond doing their jobs exceedingly well. FMH employees readily give of their time and talent to a myriad of causes, organizations and projects. They know that reaching out to those in need makes all the difference in the world.

When you join us, you will have many opportunities

to use your time, talents and interests to

help people and the community.

FMH CORE Community Outreach for Employees

This is one of our newest initiatives for employees who want to volunteer. The committee’s mission is to offer community services that will enhance the physical, mental and social health of the FMH community through coordinated efforts and projects identified by both the organization and associated volunteer programs such as Volunteer Frederick.

To date, CORE projects include:

  • Providing over 300 backpacks to elementary school children in need
  • Delivering blankets, bedding and other essential items to residents of Pakistan
  • Instituting a food collection for community shelters and encouraging volunteer participation

CORE Committee Details

  • Committee members are expected to chair one project and volunteer on one more
  • Each committee member will serve a one-year commitment and is then subject to renewal
  • Projects may range from support of canned food drives for indigent community residents, to continued efforts such as clothing drives, to coordinated projects with Volunteer Frederick
  • Committee members will attend department staff meetings to communicate community projects and needs, seek volunteers, and serve as liaisons in soliciting other project ideas from staff

As an FMH employee, you will be encouraged to follow your heart. Choose among the volunteer options we offer or pursue an individual cause that’s special to you.
