On Sunday, October 22, all loose plate offerings and undesignated checks will be donated to Bethesda Cares. This local nonprofit works to end homelessness by directly providing housing to those who lack it.
Using the Housing First approach, Bethesda Cares outreach workers get people off the streets and then provide supportive services that help them get their lives back. In addition to housing, Bethesda Cares provides other services, including a soup kitchen, a clothing closet, a shower program, and targeted rental assistance for individuals at risk of eviction.

Donations may be made via Breeze (Select “Outreach Sunday: Bethesda Cares” from the drop-down menu.); by texting “outreach” to (301) 685-7608; or via check, payable to St. John’s Norwood with “Bethesda Cares” on the memo line. Thanks!
