First administrator for Foundation

Dalyce Wickett has joined the Delta Community Foundation in the part time role of Administrator. The Foundation has been managed by an operations board of directors since its founding in 1986. This is a big step for the Foundation as it prepares to take more big steps to do much more, with more of us, for the community. Dalyce feels very fortunate to work in the community she calls home, to benefit ‘the charity for all charities’. She brings with her over 13 years of non profit experience in a variety of roles and is excited to join the Delta Community Foundation as we grow to meet the needs of even more individuals and charities in Delta.

Grant

North Delta community garden upgrades

Delta Rise Community Garden, in North Delta, improved its facility by providing equipment to those who may not have had their own, purchasing a potting table to help those with mobility concerns and those with larger harvests to more easily sort through their crops, and to make it easier to use the gardening hose. Funding for these improvements came from the Delta Community Foundation’s Neighbourhood Small Grants program, sponsored by the Vancouver Foundation.
