Basic Needs Assistance

Basic Needs Assistance is dedicated to supporting the residents of Bethesda, MD, especially those in southern Montgomery County, who find themselves facing financial hardship. Our mission focuses on providing immediate, short-term aid to prevent homelessness and hunger among our community members. We offer vital services, including rental assistance for those at risk of eviction, utility payment support for families facing disconnections, and prescription assistance with a verified doctor's prescription. Additionally, we deliver emergency food supplies, ensuring that families receive grocery bags stocked with a three-day supply of nutritious food tailored to each household's needs. Our goal is to connect individuals and families with essential resources that can help them regain stability. For those seeking food assistance, we provide structured access to ensure fair distribution based on home address, with calls accepted on designated odd or even days of the month.
