Food Hampers
You will receive one of the following types of hamper:
- Service Club Hamper
or - Sponsored Hamper
Service Club Hamper
Service Club hampers are delivered to the recipients' homes. The dates of hamper delivery have not yet been determined. We will announce them here once they are. (Please be advised that winter weather conditions may delay delivery times.)
You must be home to receive your service club hamper
If for any reason you cannot be home, you must arrange to have someone there to accept your hamper. The hamper will not be left if there is no one home. If you are home and have not received your hamper by 1 pm, phone a Deltassist office at 604-594-3455 (North Delta) or 604-946-9526 (Ladner) before 2pm. (On the day of delivery no one will be in either Deltassist office after 2pm.)
To ensure the safety of the people delivering the hampers, please make sure dogs are inside or tied up.
Sponsored Hamper
Families are chosen randomly for sponsored hampers, from a list of families that have not been sponsored in at least the last 3 years. These hampers must be picked up by the recipients. If your family is chosen, you will be contacted about the pick-up date and time.
Please ensure you have a car or can arrange a ride to pick up your sponsored hamper.
