We truly appreciate your support of this wonderful program. Our volunteer crews will be on duty ready to respond, on Christmas Eve, Christmas, and New Year’s, along with every other holiday of the year.Holiday On Duty 2023 - Your Donation Could Make a Great Difference This Year!
During the Thanksgiving and Seasonal Holidays we provide meals for area Public Safety Personnel: Montgomery County Police stationed in this Area; Wheaton Volunteer Rescue Squad; Kensington Volunteer Fire Dept

Since 1999, the Wheaton & Kensington Chamber of Commerce has run Holiday on Duty, a program that collects money from the community and provides meals for Public Safety personnel during the holidays.

During these times, most eating establishments are closed in the Wheaton and Kensington area. Many public safety workers are handling various emergencies and may find it difficult to locate restaurants open for meals while on duty. For most of us, these are holidays. But not for those Public Safety personnel – they are on duty.
- The Chamber urges everyone to donate to this program to say “Thank You” to those who work to protect us while we are celebrating the holidays with family and friends.
