Who We Are

KZNow is a locally owned non-profit outreach and referral service in Germantown, MD. We support our growing homeless population, single-parent families, and anyone in need. Our volunteers provide food, clothing, referrals, and one-on-one support to ensure people get the help they deserve.

Our Mission

We’re more than just an outreach program—we’re also a community activist group dedicated to making Germantown a cleaner, safer place. If you see a problem and need help addressing it, reach out. We’ll listen and work with you to find solutions.

A Message from Our Founder

“I’ve lived in this community for over 15 years and I know the struggles our neighbors face. I’ve been homeless myself, a recovering alcoholic, and a veteran. I understand what it means to need help, and I’ve dedicated my life to making sure nobody is left behind. But I can’t do it alone—I need the support of our community, churches, volunteers, and friends.”

– Dave Monroe, Founder of KZNow

How It Started

KZNow began in 2016 when Dave met members of the homeless community while spending time at Gunners Lake Park. What started as helping a stray cat find a home quickly grew into a mission of supporting the people of Germantown—homeless individuals, single parents, and families in need.

Today, KZNow continues to provide direct assistance, referrals, and personal support to anyone who asks. If we can’t help, we’ll guide you to someone who can.
