Community Service Center

A Message from the Director

For this multifaceted human service agency, helping others is what we do best. At some point in each of our lives we will find ourselves in a place where we either need help or have a need to help others.

The Community Service Center is the place where services are offered and volunteer needs are fulfilled. Residents of Gainesville and Hall County can ride the public bus system, get extra support through financial services, or take part in programs designed to enrich the lives of mature adults such as the Senior Life Center and Meals on Wheels.

Our hope is that these efforts uplift and strengthen our community.
