Silver Spring Village sustains a robust neighbors-helping-neighbors network that supports older adults who wish to live as independently as possible and be fully engaged in their community as they age. Our service area includes zip codes 20910, 20901, 20815 east of Rock Creek Park part of 20902 (Wheaton) east and south of Wheaton Regional Park as well as Kemp Mill.
Members are looking to connect with people through friendly visits/friendly phone calls to help them feel less isolated. A friendly visit can sometimes include a walk around the neighborhood.
Volunteering with Silver Spring Village is flexible; you can spend as much time volunteering as your schedule permits. Village volunteers must undergo a criminal background screening and attend an orientation/training session before volunteering. For more information and to volunteer, please contact Vanessa Ripps at vanessa.ripps@silverspringvillage.org
