Bethesda Cares Inc. offering support for the homeless

Bethesda is well known for its exorbitant real estate, stately homes and mansions and exquisite gardens surrounding the properties. Most of us have been priced out of the housing market that begins at around $ 2 million dollars per home in these comfortable neighborhoods.

Where do the less fortunate find their living accommodations in this expensive town? Even young couples earning two incomes cannot always find an apartment, condominium or starter home in this town.

Bethesda Cares Inc. was founded in 1988 as a community outreach program for the homeless community at large. Their mission is to place clients in permanent living situations whenever possible,

"For some of our clients, homelessness is a difficult but transitory period that they ultimately resolve on their own, by landing needed work, or finding friends or family to help them through. Other clients, though, have been on the street for years. Some feel deeply detached from—abandoned by--society. These clients may resist help, despite sorely needing it. With them, we use a very long process of slowly, methodically building trust, then working with partners to ultimately place these clients into homes"

They are located at:

7728 Woodmont Ave
Bethesda, MD 20814

They are always looking for volunteers and people with helpful information to help solve the city's homeless problem. Check with their website if you wish to donate http://www.bethesdacares.org

We can all do our best to give help where it is needed, we are so lucky to have such an organization in Bethesda to help those in need.
