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.

(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 JANUARY LUNCH AT CHINA JADE RESTAURANT IN DERWOOD
On Thursday, January 29, a small and hardy group of five from the Mill Creek Village (MCV) Dining Club braved the frigid temperatures to get together for lunch at China Jade restaurant in Derwood after our recent snowstorm. It was nice to get out of the house after being stuck inside for almost a week and socialize with our neighbors in a warm and friendly atmosphere, while enjoying a delicious hot lunch!
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 Yu Zhou Cafe in Gaithersburg, Biscotti's in Derwood, and China Jade restaurant in Derwood. Since the club was initiated, the group has enjoyed eating at more than a dozen eating establishments.
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 Joe Ginther by phone at 301-926-4985 or by email at josephginther@hotmail.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!
