Delmarva Community Services, Inc. (DCS) recently received donations from BayVanguard Bank and Hebron Savings Bank to support the opening of DCS Senior Center in Cambridge one more day a week.
The DCS Senior Center in Cambridge currently has 72 seniors, ages 60 to 97, with a long waiting list for other seniors to get in. The Center in Cambridge, which is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., will now be able to move closer to opening on Wednesdays to help address the waiting list and to get more seniors engaged in Dorchester County. Seniors are transported from Hurlock, Federalsburg, Taylor’s Island, and Vienna using the Delmarva Community Transit buses.
“The demand for senior services in Dorchester County continues to grow. Having this additional day will help with the isolation many seniors face. Both BayVanguard Bank and Hebron Savings Bank are true community partners and realize the value of supporting our senior citizens,” states Andy Hollis, President/CEO of DCS.
Delmarva Community Services Inc. (DCS) is a multi-service organization founded in 1974 that serves individuals with developmental disabilities, seniors, and individuals living in poverty, as well as provides childcare and transportation services.
