My Nonprofit Reviews

Silver Spring Village is a terrific resource for people who want to remain in their own homes as they age, i.e., almost everyone! The village welcomes residents of dozens of diverse neighborhoods throughout a large part of Silver Spring. As a volunteer who makes friendly visits and phone calls, and as a member who participates in many of the social, educational, and recreational activities, the Village has enabled me to make new connections throughout the community, gain a better understanding of our world, and make many new friends. When I speak to prospective members, I say that the village is wonderful for people who may be new to the area, those who live alone, and for those whose working and child-rearing years left little time to connect with neighbors. I emphasize that the village makes it easy to admit you may need some help with things you used to do yourself, and easy to get that help. Silver Spring Village is a true virtual COMMUNITY.
