#HomeOnDeGrange
Our donors, our clients, and our workers are the inspiration for our new philosophy and program: #HomeOnDeGrange. We’re excited to expand our services and our reach with compassion and dignity. The Frederick community and its needs are the core at everything we do at Religious Coalition, and we hope to keep growing with you – our donors, our partners and our clients – in order to make Frederick a great place to live for every one of its citizens. This is our home. Let’s make it better together.
