Serving Montgomery County, MD since 1943 |
Hours, Directions, and Maps Hours Monday through Saturday 9:30 - 4:00 Inclement weather policy For the safety of our volunteers and customers, in case of snow or icy roads, we either close the store or open it late based on decisions of the Montgomery County Public Schools. (This simplifies the task of letting our many volunteers know about closings or delayed openings.) When schools are closed for the day because of hazardous road conditions, we keep the shop closed. When schools have a delayed opening because of hazardous road conditions, we open at 1:00 PM. When necessary, we will close the store early in order to ensure a safe trip home for our volunteers and staff. To be sure the store is open, please call us at 301-654-0063. Location We are located at 7125 Wisconsin Avenue in downtown Bethesda. This is three doors south of the Montgomery County Farm Women's Co-op, between Willow St. and Leland St., on the east side of Wisconsin Ave. Parking There is an above-ground county parking lot directly behind the store, accessible from either Willow (from which you take a right) or Leland (take a left). Parking is free on Saturdays and Sundays and metered during the week. Street parking on Wisconsin, Willow, and Leland is metered Monday through Saturday.
