Due to circumstances beyond our control, our Lower Dorchester-Jedburg-Summerville satellite office has closed. Dorchester County residents in both the upper and lower ends of the county are now asked to select the Upper Dorchester-St. George location when scheduling appointments online or over the phone. All scheduled appointments will be held at our St. George location located at 201 Johnston street, St George, South Carolina 29477 (inside the DSS office) Monday-Thursday weekly. Community roll-out events will also be held with site partners in underserved communities throughout the rest of the year to eliminate transportation barriers. Thank you for your cooperation during this transition.
