The Outreach Club is all about helping our fellow Delawareans. Our club meets on the third Wednesday of the month in the Brandywine Room* at 9:30 a.m. from September through June. The Outreach Club does not meet in July and August. As a group, they decide on which organizations or groups they can help. They do drives to help families with Christmas and Thanksgiving; they have done projects to give to veterans, nursing home residents, and animals. Their club members volunteer at Our Daily Bread and make meals for a men’s shelter. They also contribute volunteer opportunities to the newsletter. To find out more about our club please join them at one of their meetings!
