Volunteer with DDS

As a charitable organization, DDS relies on the kindness and support of its community stakeholders. We are able to fulfill our mission because of the many people who share our concerns for people with disabilities living in our communities.

DDS can always benefit from the help of volunteers. Volunteers are needed to help maintain the building and grounds, in addition to assisting with the running of programs.

DDS implements a volunteer application process. Interested parties should call 717-274-3493 for an application prior to scheduling an appointment with a DDS representative.
