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.
Join your neighbors (21 years of age and older) for an evening of fun, good food, and friendship!

Connection and Story: A Writing Workshop for Caregivers
Wednesday, February 25, 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
Facilitator: Vivé Griffith
The important work of caring for others can be both rewarding and depleting, and caregivers are so often the ones who don’t receive (or even ask for) the support they need.
This online workshop offers current and former caregivers the opportunity to write in community, finding their own stories, connecting to the stories of others, and reclaiming their voice and strength. Based on the practices of Narrative Medicine, a field that brings together personal story and healthcare, this workshop will give participants the space to reflect, reconnect, and recharge.
Space is limited to 12 attendees, and registration is required. The workshop will be held on Zoom in meeting format but will NOT be recorded. The Zoom link will be provided after registration.
About the facilitator:
Vivé Griffith is a writer and workshop facilitator who has been bringing the writing process into community spaces for thirty years. A family caregiver herself, she earned a certificate in Narrative Medicine from Columbia University and is focused on developing opportunities for caregivers to share and honor their stories. You can learn more about Vivé on her website.
