Bethesda Cares is a community outreach program for the homeless, as well as a safety net for those at risk of eviction or utility shut-off. Our Onsite Services are available Monday through Friday at 7728 Woodmont Avenue, Bethesda Maryland.
Our main office serves as both a Drop-In Center for clients experiencing homelessness, and the site for most of our services. Open five days a week, our Drop-In Center always offers hot coffee, snacks and a place that clients can come in for a respite from the weather. Importantly, its also a place where they know they will be greeted with smiles, and not be asked to "move along."
Our Center provides access to our Outreach Team, a social worker and psychiatric care, who work closely together to move clients out of homelessness. We also try to ease our clients lives, by providing vouchers for our Clothing Closet and our weekly shower program, both at nearby sites. We hold mail for nearly 400 clients, offer a phone for client-use, and keep a steady supply of toiletries available, too.
Offer a daily meal program; a Drop-In Center where clients can come out of the weather and find a warm cup of coffee ( open Monday through Friday); a Clothing Closet (sign up at the main office); a mail service for those with no fixed address; and a weekly shower program (sign up at main office). Our psychiatrist offers weekly group and individual counseling, as well as limited prescription assistance.
