Every month DMCC also helps local charities by organizing food and clothing drives, providing volunteers, and making every effort to help the chosen charity thrive and succeed. Our employees are very enthusiastic about lending a hand to these charities and they provide not only tangible goods (canned goods, clothes, etc.), but also many of their leisure hours to serve the organizations.
Over the years we have made a difference in a variety of charities. Following is a brief sample of what we have been doing lately.
November 2009: Palm Beach County Housing Authority
For the month of November 2008, DMCC teamed up with the West Palm Beach Housing Authority. They provide safe, decent and affordable public housing to persons and families with limited financial resources. They also provide residents with access to programs, which will assist them in making the transition to greater financial security. Every year we have been assisting this organization with Thanksgiving. It was our pleasure to be able to help those families that were spending their Thanksgiving at West Palm Beach House Authority. Thanks to the generosity of DMCC employees, we collected enough gifts to create five gift bags for a raffle they were holding after dinner.
