How to Help|

Financial Gifts

All gifts to Bethesda, no matter what the amount, are truly appreciated and help us to carry out our mission to share the love of Christ with people who have developmental disabilities. Bethesda offers several financial giving options, each with its own advantages. You can even donate to Bethesda online! Give online now! Contact Bethesda about giving.

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers play a vital role in the success of the services Bethesda provides to people with developmental disabilities. Volunteer opportunities range from being a pen pal to working in one of our thrift shops.

Special Events

Help support Bethesda by participating as a golfer or sponsor in one of our Golf Tournaments. All proceeds from these events go to support our mission.

Advocacy

Through the Bethesda Voices advocacy program and increased legislative contacts by staff, Bethesda is working hard to make visible the rights, dignity and respect to which people with developmental disabilities are entitled. Find out how you can help.

Thrift Shops

If you shop Bethesda's thrift shops, volunteer your time working, or donate goods to be sold, your efforts help support the people we serve.

Online Gift Shop

Shop a selection of seasonal and non-seasonal items crafted by Bethesda artisans who receive our services. Gifts include ceramic collectibles, greeting cards and cookie mixes.
