From pandemic pizza deliveries to pulling up sod and planting irises, the Hemisphere Financial team has shown up for Penn-Mar in big ways!💪 We’re so grateful for their continued support—and for welcoming our new partner, Jorgen Post of Post Supply LLC into the fold. It was amazing to see Jorgen and his crew at the Golf Classic, sharing their personal connection to our mission, and then rolling up their sleeves to help create a garden space for the people who live there - one of them being Denise who plans to enjoy it with her babydoll❤️ This group brought new life to the yard... just in time for Halloween decorations!🎃

One of the best parts of volunteering is getting to meet the people we support - after the yard cleanup, the group visited Shawn’s apartment, complete with a Pac-Man machine and a round of Blackjack at his card table that he was very proud to share!

Thank you again, to Hemisphere Financial and Post Supply LLC., for your time, energy, and support of Penn-Mar!

About Us

The mission of Penn-Mar Human Services is to transform life into living for people with disabilities or human service needs, their families, our team members, and volunteers.

Founded in 1981, we support more than 400 adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities through our residential, respite, educational, day learning center, community-based programs, and customized employment support, in northern Baltimore, Carroll, and Harford Counties in Maryland, and in southern York County in Pennsylvania.

Our four core values (integrity, excellence, collaboration, and innovation), serve as the foundation of our organizational culture and key measures of our success. They are the underlying principles that guide how we transform life into living at Penn-Mar Human Services.
