About Deltassist
Deltassist is dedicated to the well being of the people of Delta. We offer counselling for families, young parents, youth and seniors. Our community programs offer Christmas hampers and toys, information and referral, emergency food and free income tax services. Our seniors programs help seniors maintain their independence through weekly phone shopping, rides to medical appointments, daily phone support, light housekeeping, yard work and small home repairs.
Our Mission • “To respond to the community needs of Delta in a manner which enhances the social, psychological and physical well being of individuals, families and the community through the provision of professional and volunteer services in Delta and the surrounding communitiesItalic”.
Our hope, though the Coldest Night of the Year (CNOY) fundraising walk, is to inspire our community to help us raise vital funds and raise awareness of the current gaps in services in available to our community for those that are in need. We also plan to invite several community leaders and partners to become closer partners with Deltassist through CNOY as well.
The funds raised through CNOY will go towards our Community Services programs which include Food Security, Community Garden & Seniors Subsidies Programs.
