This is an incredible place to volunteer because you see the impact you are making immediately - fantastic for a group or students looking for SSL hours.

Hello, grant seeker Nirvana!…read more As a fundraiser I really, really, appreciate having a FC library in the District. It's the best resource there is for anything grant-oriented, or anything regarding foundations and philanthropy in general. Their online database offers access to information that can't be found through open-source research methods, and they also have tons of reference books available to be lended out. My favorite part, though, is the free courses that they offer. Classes cover a wide variety of topics, from prospect research basics to creating a budget proposal or ways to approach your Board, and the teachers are highly knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Also offers the ideal environment for learning from and/or commiserating with fellow grant seekers and development staff. Overall, just a really great resource that I'm so glad to have around.

I am so pleased to have met and know some of the amazing people that work at this organization…read more Bethesda Cares mission is to prevent, end, and ease homelessness. When searching for a non profit in the area to try and help support- I thought to the most basic needs of a human's life. Shelter, Water, Food. Nobody should be without a home. And Bethesda Cares feels the same way. Not only do they offer lunches throughout the week, they provide shower facilities, daytime shelter, and mail services. To prevent those from becoming homeless, they work with people who are in apartments but are in danger of having their utilities shut off, or people who are possibly facing eviction. They are truly angels - and contrary to the name- Bethesda Cares serves those through the county. There are more than 800 chronically homeless citizens. Some with mental and physical health issues. As a community of millions, we should be able to ban together to help Bethesda Cares in it's mission and end homelessness in the region. I will continue to help them whenever I can, and I hope that these amazing people are blessed in each and every part of their lives.

They are dependent on donations, and are appreciative of every dollar donors give to them.

Downstairs you can find men's clothes and shoes, children's clothes and shoes, and a wide variety of home goods. I mean wide! You can get candles, baskets, greeting cards, fabric bundles, dish sets- you name it, it's probably here. Upstairs is women's clothing and shoes and a Christmas room. It's not the largest clothing selection but high quality and good prices. They also had a sale when I was there, which was buy one red tag item and get two free. When you finish browsing upstairs, they put your items in a bag and total it for you before you go back downstairs to pay. The building is an old house, so it has multiple small rooms. It can feel a bit cramped at times, and sometimes the lighting wasn't the best. I just used the flashlight on my phone! They also have changing rooms upstairs, which is fantastic! The volunteers working there were very nice. It's a great stop if you're in the area!
