"Fight for the Right" - where volunteers and people with disabilities come together to help those in need
The 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.
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.
They 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. Meetings are held monthly to share project ideas, and decide which ones will be performed.
