Deltassist's Donation Wish list

As a non profit, community-based social services organization, Deltassist receives its funds from a range of sources. The common denominator amongst all of its funders is a desire to fund specific annual operating expenses and do not provide sufficient funds to meet ordinary operating costs or longer term capital costs

This why Deltassist has developed its donation wish list.

All of the items set out on the list are not covered by regular funding sources. Also, all of the items are 'things' as opposed to money. Most of the items on the donation wish list are needed for all programs operated by Deltassist and all items will improve Deltassist's efficiency and effectiveness in its services to individuals, families and the community.

Program

More evening group programs are being introduced this tear and funding is only available to cover personnel costs. Deltassist needs funding or donations-in-kind to cover food and snack costs associated with its groups.
