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;
(4) Serve as a MCV volunteer; and
(5) Support MCV with a financial or in-kind donation.

Montgomery County Waste Management Town Hall and Community Feedback Survey
The county council is considering a big change to how trash is disposed of in the county -- possibly closing the Dickerson incinerator and switching to a system that would divert compostable food scraps and recyclables from the trash people throw away and move the rest to a landfill out of state.
The county Department of Environmental Protection has an informative webpage here that explains the options and compares the costs:
