The Gabriel Project Cluster of Montgomery County, Maryland, is an all-volunteer organization helping needy women in Montgomery County who are facing crisis pregnancies, and their children, by providing practical support, including help to pay for prenatal care, cribs, strollers, clothing, grocery cards, diapers, formula, and other needed items. Volunteers are always needed to carry out this important program. For more information about the Gabriel Project and to help provide critically needed financial and material resources, please visit the website at  www.gpmoco.org.
