How do I fulfill my community service requirement if I have an Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) case?

The District Attorney’s office does not accept online community service. You must find a nonprofit organization within the community in order to volunteer your time.  Examples include: the SPCA, thrift store, fire department, church or other faith based organization, local library, recreational centers such as the YMCA, a nature center, Parks and Recreation or a senior center.  If you are considering a site, but not sure if it is approved, please call 215-529-7081 for verification.

If you need to speak to the ARD unit about community service, letters or certificates of completion and ARD financial obligations, please call 215-348-6344.

If you have completed your community service requirement, please send proof of completion to Bucks County Adult Probation Department at:
261 California Road
Suite 3
Quakertown, PA 18951

You can also fax it to 215-529-7138.
