We Have an Urgent Need for Food
We desperately need food for our Emergency Food Bags and Christmas Hampers!
We currently have a high demand for food security within the community and need to replenish our Emergency Food Cupboard. If you can donate any food at this time, please drop it off to either of our office locations. If you have multiple boxes, please contact our Office Manager, Kam Dhaliwal , at kamd@deltassist.com or 604-594-3455 ext. 121. Thank you for your support!
