Shippensburg Community Resource Guide
Shippensburg Community Resource Guide
Since the town of Shippensburg is located in both Cumberland County and Franklin County, this can lead to confusion about how and where to access social services. County social services are available in the neighboring towns of Carlisle and Chambersburg.
Both counties have their own guides to social services so this guide focuses on the services that are available within the Shippensburg Area School District boundaries.
