Volunteer and Helpful Services

The opportunity to volunteer in Cumberland County is vast. It offers a way for those willing to serve, to use the skills and resources they have developed, or even to learn some new skills, to help those in need. 

 

Many of the organizations listed here need volunteers. You can find opportunities to serve for a single event, a day or two, a week, or even a few hours a month. It is a terrific way for individuals of all ages, families, neighborhoods, and other groups to fulfill personal or required community service hours, as well as to donate to support these organizations, including those that rely on financial donations to support their mission of outreach by trained professionals.
