Art spent many hours volunteering at First United Methodist Church, Lancaster, on trustees, usher crew, Food Bank, Wesley Singers, New Orleans Mission trips and many other capacities. At Grace Community Church, Willow Street, Art served on the Monday Cleaning Crew and was active in the Cancer Support Group. He volunteered for the Lancaster County Food Hub, and served for 24 years as a volunteer in the Lancaster General Hospital Skylight Waiting Room.
