Mission Statement
MUM supports our neighbors to move from vulnerability to stability through access to resources and community connections.
About This Cause
Mid-County United Ministries (MUM) helps people in crisis in the Wheaton, Aspen Hill, Kensington, Rockville, Silver Spring and Takoma Park communities, specifically zip codes 20783, 20853, 20895, 20896, 20901, 20902, 20906, 20910 and 20912. We provide healthy food (produce and nonperishables) through our choice food pantry as well as financial assistance for rent, utilities and prescription medications with the aim of also providing resources to help residents achieve stability and self-sufficiency. In FY24, MUM helped more than 7,000 people. We provided nearly 240,000 pounds of food (more than 50% of which was produce) for 6,858 people; helped 78 people avoid eviction by providing rental assistance; helped 229 people keep utilities on; and helped 14 people with prescriptions. MUM is a secular non-profit that is governed by a board of directors, has several paid part-time employees and many volunteers who contribute hundreds of hours of service. Funds come from local government grants, financial donations from individuals, businesses, civic organizations and faith communities, as well as in-kind food donations. MUM has also received various grants from foundations and non-governmental agencies. MUM is currently located in the Westfield Wheaton South building, 11002 Veirs Mill Road, Suite 710, Silver Spring, MD. The majority of those seeking MUM's service come by public transportation and learn of the services through referrals from congregations and other assistance agencies.
