volunteer
As a volunteer with DIG, you’re not “just” a volunteer; you’re a stakeholder in a new, growing, and ever-changing community organization. We rely on our volunteers to keep us organized, to stay on top of communications, and get furniture to families weekly.
If you live in the Susquehanna Valley and are passionate about helping your neighbors in need, consider joining our team of dedicated (and fun) volunteers!
