Our Mission
Our mission is to preserve and promote Epworth Park’s historical, cultural, and educational past by maintaining and improving the park’s buildings and grounds, while fostering an educational/cultural presence in the community through gatherings available for all to enjoy.
STUDENT SUPPORT INITIATIVE
Many local families struggle to afford essential school supplies and clothing for their children. The Epworth Park Foundation is committed to ensuring every student begins the school year with dignity, confidence, and the tools they need to succeed.
Through the Student Support Initiative, the Foundation collects donations and uses them to purchase backpacks, notebooks, pencils, art supplies, clothing basics, and other essential items. These goods are then provided to the PTO, which organizes distribution to low-income students in our community.
Your donation supports a direct, local impact. Every dollar stays in our community. Every item goes directly to a child who needs it.
Epworth Park Foundation retains full control over all funds and purchases to ensure they are used exclusively for charitable purposes.
Upcoming Events
Join the Epworth Park Foundation and the Village of Bethesda for a day of patriotic fun and community spirit! On October 10th, enjoy live entertainment, local vendors, family activities, and the warm charm of autumn under the oaks. Celebrate America’s 250th anniversary with music, food, and fellowship in the heart of historic Epworth Park.
Bricks of Remembrance
We invite you to celebrate Epworth Park’s rich heritage and ancestry by participating in our Bricks of Remembrance Project. By purchasing a 4″ x 8″ laser-engraved brick, you have the opportunity to create a lasting tribute — whether you wish to honor friends, family members, cherished loved ones, or commemorate special occasions. Each brick is uniquely crafted and personalized, making it a meaningful addition to our park.
This is a limited-time opportunity to pay homage to those who paved the way before us, while also helping us raise essential funds to construct new pathways throughout the scenic grounds of Epworth Park. Your support not only memorializes important people and moments in your life but also contributes to the continued beauty and accessibility of our beloved park. Join us in making history and leaving a legacy for generations to come.
