Welcome to the Town of Dumfries Department of Community Services. The Community and Cultural Center is located at 17757 Main Street, adjacent to the Town Hall. A variety of events and programs are hosted at the Center throughout the year. All Town residents are encouraged to get involved in the Dumfries Community. Without the dedicated support of our resident volunteers, our programs most definitely would suffer. Any citizens interested in volunteering may contact Director, Cathy Holtzlander at 703-221-3400 ext 115. I welcome your suggestions and comments: choltzlander@dumfriesvirginia.org.
