Volunteer: Help Homeless Neighbors in Montgomery County! (for individuals, groups, kids, and teens)Thank you for your interest at Bethesda Cares and wanting to serve those in need. With the spread of COVID-19, we want to preserve the safety and health of our clients, volunteers, and staff, and have determined it is best to suspend all-volunteer services as we seek to minimize community spread. Additionally, we are not accepting any walk-in/drop off donations at this time. In the meantime, we appreciate any support you can give Bethesda Cares in one of the multiple ways: 1) Please consider making a financial contribution to Bethesda Cares. Our priorities are shifting every day as the news develops, and our clients’ needs change. Monetary donations allow us to be flexible in obtaining items and supplies that we need to meet this constantly evolving situation. You can donate to Bethesda Cares at this link: https://bethesdacares.networkforgood.com/projects/95412-keep-our-population-healthy 2) We greatly appreciate $5-$10 gift cards to Giant Foods, Safeway, or Target (or a similar grocery store) to assist clients with purchasing needed household/ grocery items. Gift cards of any amount to McDonalds, Subway, Dunkin Donuts, or Starbucks are also accepted for our street outreach team to buy a warm meal or drink for clients sleeping on the streets. These can be mailed to: 7728 Woodmont Ave., Bethesda, MD 20814. Please include your name (we keep a record of each gift card donated and distributed). 3) If you would prefer to donate items (such as canned goods and nonperishable items), let us know, and we will add you to a rapid response list, and reach out to you when specific needs come up. Please email our Developmental Director, Justin Spees to be added to this list: justin@bethesdacares.org. Please be safe, take care of your health, and know we truly appreciate your commitment to serving those less fortunate in our community. Not approved for MCPS SSL hours. While we welcome all donations, students may not earn SSL hours for individual donations or for hosting book drives virtually or from home. See guidelines for agencies on how virtual opportunities may be considered for SSL. Organization: Bethesda Cares, Inc.
