Elkton, MD: The Cecil County Department of Community Services (DCS) announced Cecil Cares, a countywide day of service, will take place on October 2, 2021.

DCS invites eligible organizations to coordinate a Cecil Cares project. The Cecil Cares project application is available at http://www.volunteercecil.org/ or on the Cecil County Department of Community Services’ website at https://www.ccgov.org/government/community-services/volunteer-opportunities.

A virtual information session will be hosted for organizations coordinating projects for the first time.
