How to Request Service
CDEL has a very small staff and most of our volunteers do not provide services from our office. We cannot promise to respond to requests for service from people who walk-in to our office simply because there will not always be someone available to assist someone.

We will return the message and perform an initial screening for everyone who contacts us, in the order of contact, within three (3) business days.
