April 7, 2020The Fight for the Right group is the DPD’s client community service group. The name was created by a member of the group and implies fighting for what is right and providing service to those in our local communities, nation and worldwide who are in need.
Because the individuals of DPD are currently practicing social distancing and sheltering in place, the group has been unable to congregate, but continue to make a difference in the lives of others.
For this month they will be decorating and sending thank you cards to local first responders and hospital employees. Pictured is Patty and Phyllis from Guiliano House who spefically thanked the Jefferson Township Police Department and essential workers at ACME Markets.
"We thank all of the people who continue to go into work despite the coronavirus. Especially the DPD Staff," said Kathy from Murray House.
Past projects include planting flowers at nursing homes, making get well cards and gifts for the sick, buying holiday presents for children of domestic violence, donating mom and baby gifts for Mother’s Day to a pregnant women’s shelter, doing yard work and clean up at a park on Community Service Day, creating centerpieces for an annual Easter brunch held by a local women’s club and participating in a Holocaust Museum’s butterfly memorial wall project.
The current project will thank brave employees from over 3 dozen entities.
Prior to this project the group have held many drives to provide food, supplies, funds, clothing and products to our military troops and veterans, food banks, animal shelters and sanctuaries, families in new homes built by Habitat for Humanity and women in need of business attire for job interviews. They also made and delivered appreciation gifts to law enforcement officers and military veterans.
The group is led by volunteer, Jenn Minervino.
The Fight for the Right Group looks forward to meeting again in person but is proud to thank those who are making a difference!
