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

13th MCV Annual Meeting Provides Village Updates and Double-Feature Speaker Talks on Herman Rabbitt and Fire Prevention
On a cool April 7th evening, 30 Mill Creek Towne (MCT) residents came to the local Elementary School for the 13th Annual Meeting of Mill Creek Village. The village is the community’s volunteer, nonprofit community services organization serving: (1) resident seniors in their efforts to age in place and avert social isolation and (2) the entire neighborhood through several intergenerational events and programs designed to foster a caring, informed and connected community.
All services, programs and events are provided by volunteers and are offered free of charge to participants. The Village is funded through neighbors’ donations, local business sponsors, and small grants. Appreciation was expressed to the Village’s kind donors, nearly 30 volunteers, and to each of its sponsors.
Village President Anna McBain, presided over the meeting. Anna, Secretary Ed Ludwig, and Treasurer Wendy Epstein, presented a review of the Village’s FY 2025 accomplishments and finances. They noted the addition of a new Game Night at the Pool in August, a new Home Helpers service for seniors, and future Zoom talks. Ongoing services for seniors include rides to/from appointments, grocery shopping, friendly home visits, and check-in phone calls.
Both Anna and Ed emphasized that neighbors helping neighbors make the work of the Village possible. They encouraged members of the audience to get involved. Ed then introduced the other members of the incoming FY 2026 Board.
After the conclusion of the business portion of the meeting, those in attendance enjoyed two very informative presentations, “Herman Rabbitt: The Man, The Money, The Legend and The Legacy” by Sarah Hedlund, Montgomery History Speaker and Fire Prevention & Fire Safety by Jim Resnick (retired Battalion Chief), Manager, Senior Outreach and Education Program– part of MCFRS Community Risk Reduction, Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service.
