Macy's Matching Donations to 3 County Parks

Customers can support Cabin John Regional Park, Flower Hill Local Park and Wheaton Regional Park by donating $1 or more at the register of the Macy's store in their area.

Three parks in the Montgomery Parks system have been selected for “Heart Your Park,” a program introduced as part of Macy’s “Secret Garden” campaign, that aims to raise awareness and money for local parks across the country.

From now through March 31, customers can support Cabin John Regional Park, Flower Hill Local Park and Wheaton Regional Park by donating $1 or more at the register of the Macy’s store located in each area. All of the donations will benefit the parks, and Macy’s will match the total customer donation across all stores, dollar for dollar, up to $250,000 in total, according to a news release.

Parks and donation sites are:

Cabin John Regional Park
Macy's - Montgomery, 7125 Democracy Blvd., Bethesda

Flower Hills Local Park
Macy's – Lake Forest, 701 Russell Ave., Gaithersburg

Wheaton Regional Park
Macy's - Wheaton Plaza, 11160 Viers Mill Road, Wheaton

Donations will go toward making improvements, such as maintaining trails, playgrounds, and ball fields, and everything in between.

“We are thrilled to partner with Macy’s and NRPA for ‘Heart Your Park’ this spring,” said Debbie Rankin, executive director of the Montgomery Parks Foundation. “Through this wonderful program and donations by Macy’s customers, we are excited about the increased awareness and additional funding for Cabin John Regional Park, Flower Hill Local Park and Wheaton Regional Park. These parks are great assets to the community, and we greatly appreciate Macy’s support.”
