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
(5) Support MCV with a financial or in-kind donation.

Ever wonder why your garden is not looking its best despite all the effort and resources you have poured in? Maybe it is time to rethink the way you garden. Come learn better ways to improve your soil, suppress weed, help your plants grow stronger and healthier with less water, less garden products and, most importantly, less work!
Meipo Martin bio:
Meipo Martin was born in Hong Kong, where she started growing houseplants and herbs on the apartment windowsill. In 1998, she moved to the United States. In her new garden, her love for plants came into full bloom and she became a Montgomery County Master Gardener in 2015. Meipo believes gardening should be accessible to all, and it does not have to be expensive or hard. To share her knowledge, Meipo gives a variety of presentations on gardening methods for the master gardener organization. When she is not gardening, Meipo is a wife, an Aikido instructor, a woodcarver, a blogger and a sewist.

Mill Creek Towne Neighbors Enjoy MCV 9th Annual Wine & Cheese Party
On a cool fall Saturday afternoon, 26 adult Mill Creek Towne neighbors gathered on October 10th in the backyard of Mary Anne Hardy and Larry Adkins’ home on Blanchard Drive to relax and catch up with old friends and make some new ones.
These folks not only enjoyed each other’s company, but also savory and sweet snacks including charcuterie, cheese, crackers, dips, fruit, hummus, and raspberry almond treats. There were also non-alcoholic beverages and a variety of delicious wines that attendees brought to share with their neighbors.
It was great to see some new faces. Thanks to our always hospitable hosts, to our Social Committee and to all those who joined us and helped make this 9th Mill Creek Village annual event another great success!
The Village is also grateful to our wonderful donors and business sponsors who help us put on these events and assist our elderly and disabled neighbors without charging the participants any fees or dues.
The Wine & Cheese Party was the final “official” event of the eight yearly events the village held in 2026 to promote a socially connected, caring community. We will be hosting a special “Pop Up” Paint Party on Saturday, November 7th from 2:30pm to 4:30pm. We hope to see you then!
If you need our assistance, please contact us at 240-686-5870 or mctvillage@gmail.com. Mill Creek Village is a 501(c)3 charitable, nonprofit community service organization.
