Kindness Meter Program

Since its launch in November 2021, the Kindness Meter Program, a partnership with the City of Delta and the Delta School Board, has distributed over $4,000 to address the most urgent needs within the Delta community.

The Kindness Meter program was launched in November of 2021 for World Kindness Day. Meters were designed to inspire kindness, youth engagement, showcase public art, and offer a convenient way for community members to contribute to Delta’s most pressing needs. Whether through online donations or spare change added directly to one of the five meters across Delta, ALL support helps to make a difference.

Support the Kindness Meter Program

Over the past four years the meters have proudly supported food security, children & youth, domestic violence prevention and housing, through Extreme Weather Shelters, the South Delta Food Bank, Surrey and North Delta Meals on Wheels, DOVE, and the Starfish Backpack Program.

The Delta Community Foundation oversees the collection and distribution of Kindness Meter donations, the partnership with the City of Delta and the Delta School Board, ensuring funds are directed to local organizations in need

Celebrating positive people

“Starfish Pack is very appreciative of the grant provided by the Delta Community Foundation. Starfish Pack is a ‘stand-alone’ project in South Delta that helps ensure children have good food available to them on weekends. This initiative is so important as, even in our reasonably prosperous community, there are children who show up to school on Mondays hungry and unable to focus on learning. The Delta Community Foundation is a great local conduit to ensure donated monies are distributed where the need is greatest. We appreciate your help.“
