Community Service

10/18/09

The Community Service committee sponsors various events throughout the year in support of the community.  For more information, please contact Lynn Farina
, chair.

We are in desperate need of help for this project.  On Saturday, December 5th, the Harrisburg Chapter of IAAP will be volunteering at the United Cerebral Palsy Gift Wrapping Booth at the Capital City Mall.  We need to have at least 3 people for each shift.  Volunteering your time and talent at the UCP Gift Wrap booth is fun, it’s easy and it benefits people with disabilities throughout Central Pennsylvania.  This organization currently provides programs and services for more than 3500 individuals with disabilities and their families throughout Central Pennsylvania.  Please consider volunteering just one shift of your time to this worthy cause.  Just email me at lfarina@dauphinc.org with the time you would be availabe to help us out. Attached is the brochure if you would like to share with anyone.

 


The committee again this year has joined with the Y for their Holiday Giving Program.  Below is the information for the family we are helping.
