Description

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.

Volunteers are requested to help with weeding, mulching or planting flowers or a vegetable garden. Members might also ask for a volunteer to help get their yard ready for a change of season or other small projects around their yard.

Volunteering with Silver Spring Village is flexible. Volunteers can do as much or as little as their schedule allows. 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
