Welcome to
Mill Creek Village
Since 2013, Mill Creek Village (MCV) has been a volunteer-led, nonprofit charitable community service organization dedicated to “Neighbors Helping Neighbors.” MCV provides services to help older residents (60 years of age and older) in the neighborhood of Mill Creek Towne in Derwood, Maryland to maintain their independence and remain in their homes as they age and confront medical challenges, physical incapacity, lack of mobility and loneliness.
MCV volunteers provide transportation assistance, friendly home visits and calls, grocery shopping and social activities needed to “age in place.” MCV also coordinates several community-wide events/activities annually to foster social connection among older residents and across generations.
Mill Creek Village’s service area includes the neighborhood of Mill Creek Towne on both sides of Shady Grove Road, with nearly 800 residences. The Village includes the townhouses on Mill Run Drive and the houses on Mill Crest Drive and Mill Crest Court.
All residents in this MCV service area may:
(1) Participate in MCV community events held throughout the year;
(2) Request MCV service assistance for elderly household members;
(3) Subscribe to the MCV monthly newsletter;

MCV Dining Club for Mill Creek Towne Seniors Enjoy August Lunch at Booboo Pho Restaurant in Montgomery Village
On Tuesday, August 25, 2026, a group of 10 from the Mill Creek Village (MCV) Dining Club met for lunch at the BooBoo Pho Restaurant in Montgomery Village. It was nice to get together and socialize with our neighbors while enjoying delicious Vietnamese cuisine!
MCV Dining Club is a group for senior residents in our Mill Creek Towne community. They dine out monthly and all senior residents are welcome. Most recently, the club members have enjoyed lunches at Thai House restaurant in Gaithersburg, and Acajutla restaurant in Gaithersburg, and Biscotti restaurant in Derwood. Since the club was initiated, the group has enjoyed eating at more than a dozen eating establishments. In September, we plan to have lunch at Silver Diner at the Rio in Gaithersburg.
Socializing with others and averting isolation are important to one’s health and longevity. So, whether you live alone or not, you (and other seniors in your home) are invited to participate in the club and enjoy a good meal and some good neighborly camaraderie.
Village Board member Joe Ginther is the club coordinator, He informs potential participants about the monthly plans, receives their RSVPs, and then makes the necessary arrangements to ensure that the restaurant can accommodate everyone. The group has up to 19 attendees but typically draws 14-16 attendees. Joe also coordinates any carpools needed by those who in need of rides.
If you are one of our Mill Creek Towne seniors, aged 60 and older, who would enjoy breaking bread with other neighbors and making new friends, please contact us by email at mctvillage@gmail.com to share your interest. He will put you on the e-mail list to receive notices of upcoming dining club events.
Thanks, Joe looks forward to hearing from you!
Mark your calendars for our next community event – our MCV Community Picnic on Saturday, September 19 @ 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm! Hope to see you there!

Ready or Not: Reframing Denial and Finding Grace at the Bedside
Wednesday, August 26, 10:00am
Presenter: Luke Ottinger, Jr., Nurse Educator and Author
When facing the edge of hard news, it's easy to fall into the trap of denial, endless tests, and emotional isolation. But what happens when we stop fighting what we can't change and start putting our energy into simply being present?
Based on the book Ready or Not: A Bedside Companion for Your Hospice Journey, this webinar will explore how caregivers and families can navigate end-of-life choices with clarity, humor, and grace.
What We'll Cover:
Breaking the loop of avoidance to make room for real connection
Redefining hope when a cure isn't on the table. Practical bedside communication strategies
Permitting yourself to navigate grief without a rigid blueprint
Who should attend:
Anyone caring for an aging parent or family member, navigating a family health crisis, or wanting to support loved ones through serious illness with presence instead of panic.
