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.
Often members need help organizing a small space in their home such as a room, a cabinet or a drawer. They might ask for help with getting their documents in order at the end of the year or organizing clothes in their closets for the new season. Sometimes the request has to do with downsizing. Volunteers who would like to become Home Organizers receive a special training and often times work in pairs.
You can volunteer with Silver Spring Village as much or as little as your schedule permits. Village volunteers must undergo a criminal background screening and orientation/training session before volunteering. For more information and to volunteer, please contact Vanessa Ripps at vanessa.ripps@silverspringvillage.org
