Dilworth Cares
What :
An outreach program called “Dilworth Cares” was initiated by the DCDA in 2008 to make it easier for each of us, as Dilworthians, to show our concern for others. Each year, after a comprehensive application and interview process, one organization is chosen as the primary focus of the fundraising and volunteer efforts for an entire year. The agency announcement is made in May. “Dilworth Cares" kicks off the Annual Care Campaign with the Dilworth Home Tour each September when a portion of the proceeds from ticket sales is earmarked for the chosen charity.
The "DIlworth Loop" is another arm of Dilworth Cares. It is a periodic email which summarizes other volunteer opportunities in our community as well as highlights places where goods can be donated. To sign up to receive this email, please click the button below and email our representative.
