Dear Safe Silver Spring Supporter,


For 4 years now Safe Silver Spring has been working to keep our community safe through prevention, education and action.

This last year was our most successful ever as we helped Gov. Martin O’Malley pass the most sweeping gun safety bill in the country while continuing our efforts in Montgomery County to expand the police force and provide youths with alternatives to crime.

Safe Silver Spring is an all-volunteer organization but we do need modest funding to support our education, outreach and advocacy.  We also need more volunteer support

Would you please consider a contribution of $100, $50 or even as little as $25 to help? Your contribution is tax-deductible as we are a 501(c)3.

Funds are needed:
