Woohoo! Your Parking Meter Donations are going to these great charities!

Four Montgomery County charities will benefit from the thousands of dollars in change inserted in Market Street’s voluntary parking meters throughout 2018 as the shopping, dining and entertainment destination announces the beneficiaries of the 2018 Change for Charity program: CASA Child Advocates of Montgomery County, Foundation for Autism Care, Angel Reach and Canopy at Memorial Hermann The Woodlands. 

The Woodlands Car Club also generously raises money for the Change for Charity recipients throughout the year at their events, held the first Sunday of each month.  Their contributions, coupled with the amount donated to Market Street's 68 parking meters make up the total amount given to a selected charity each quarter.

“Market Street’s partnership with local charities continues to make a positive difference in our community,” says Noemi Gonzalez, marketing director at Market Street.  “Our shoppers have contributed more than $150,000 to the Change for Charity program since its inception.”
