WE CARE Weekend at Bethesda!
WE CARE is a weekend dedicated to bringing our community together and reminding every person that they are seen, valued, and cared for. On Saturday, October 31, from 10 AM to 2 PM, individuals and families are invited to come together, connect with others, receive support, and enjoy a day created with our community in mind.
At the heart of WE CARE is a desire to serve our neighbors in meaningful and practical ways. Whether you come for the resources, the activities, or simply to spend time with your community, there is a place for you here.
We care about our city, our neighbors, and you.
