COVID-19 Update: As we have all moved into a time of very limited in-person gatherings, PCV has created new ways to offer programs that enable members to still be socially connected and mentally engaged.
We now Zoom with members, sometimes several times a week. Our tech volunteers still provide assistance with computer problems, though it’s now over the phone. We have several young volunteers who assist with grocery shopping and errand running. As has always been the case, the well-being of our Village community is our utmost priority. We’re checking in with members regularly. We offer Boredom Busters suggestions and weekly updates about virtual classes, concerts, lectures and performances. See below for a list of some of the programs we offer; see our calendar https://www.potomaccommunityvillage.org/calendar.html for details.
We ask for your patience and understanding while we continue to adjust to what has become the “new normal.” For questions, please call the Help Desk at 240-221-1370, or email us at Info@PotomacCommunityVillage.org.

Potomac Community Village
works to enhance the quality of life for all members of our community. Our network of neighbors and friends offers assistance with practical needs so that people can stay in their Potomac-area homes as they age while enjoying stimulating activities and new connections. Volunteers of all ages help with transportation, errand running, computer problems, simple home tasks, pet care and friendly phone calls, plus access to our members-suggested contractor list.
