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!

DIG's Open Volunteer Hours are a way to get a first-hand glimpse on what it's like to volunteer at DIG without investing in training time, etc. Open Volunteer Hours are open to all volunteers, regardless of experience. Volunteers can expect to sort donations, organize, clean furniture, reset our showroom after client shopping/deliveries, assemble Housewarming Baskets, and more. Sign up is not required; youth under 18 are welcome with adult supervision.
