When a crime occurs, many victims do not know their rights or what resources are available. There are over 70,000 criminal cases filed in Maryland each year. Crime victims never expect to be victimized and many have never walked into a courthouse.

MCVRC has been advocating and helping victims for over 42 years. We help all victims of crime regardless of income.

This program is for seniors living alone to check on them daily. This free service will place an automated daily call to the participant at a regularly scheduled time. If the call is not picked up after three attempts, the service will call an alternate person on your behalf to check on you. If your alternate does not pick up or you do not have an alternate, the local authorities will be contacted to perform a wellness check. MDoA recommends all seniors use the program as a resource during the COVID-19 global pandemic. Senior Call Check phone lines are open Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. The verification and enrollment process can be completed within 24 hours Monday-Saturday.

All they need is compassion, objectivity, and a commitment to children.

 Join us for the 27th Run & Fun Walk for Hospice of St. Mary's, taking place on Saturday, April 6, 2024. This event, which includes the following activities: 5K Run, 10K Run, and Fun Walk, has been a staple since its inception in 1996, thanks to the dedication of community volunteers. Over the years, it has expanded significantly, featuring the world-famous brunch, included in your registration. All proceeds from this event go directly to support Hospice of St. Mary's, a non-profit organization that offers hospice and bereavement services to the residents of St. Mary's County and their families. When faced with the challenges of caring for a loved one with a life-limiting illness, difficult decisions arise, including when to consider hospice care. Too often, individuals experience increased symptoms and frequent hospitalizations during declining health, detracting from their quality of life. Hospice offers a compassionate and less stressful alternative, enabling patients to live their remaining time as fully and comfortably as possible.
