A Network of Volunteers Serving Bethesda Area
Residents in Financial Crisis

Bethesda Help, an all-volunteer, nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, offers immediate short-term assistance
to residents of southern Montgomery County, Maryland, who are in financial crisis.

Bethesda Help provides:

• Financial assistance for rent (when there is about to be an eviction), partial or full payment of utility bills (when service is about to be cut off), and prescription medicines (when need is verified by a doctor’s office and the client cannot make full or partial payment).
  In 2006, Bethesda Help answered 110 requests for financial assistance.

• Transportation, free-of-charge, to doctor and social-service appointments for elderly or disabled individuals who cannot afford cab fare.
  In 2006, Bethesda Help provided 128 rides to those in need.

• Emergency food deliveries to households in crisis (grocery bags containing a three-day supply of food for each member of the household).
  In 2006, Bethesda Help delivered food to more than 545 individuals.

Without volunteers, Bethesda Help cannot offer these services to our neighbors in need. If you would like to learn about becoming a supporter of Bethesda Help, please click on the "Volunteer" or "Support Us" links above.
