The Foundation For Delaware County

Several of our staff were thrilled to partner this holiday season with Dr. June Elcock-Messam, a dedicated Delaware County pediatrician and co-founder of the nonprofit Every Child Counts, Inc., to deliver Thanksgiving-themed food boxes. The initiative was so large this year, we had to rent a truck to make it happen! We would like to thank Dr. Elcock-Messam and Every Child Counts for their dedication to brightening the Thanksgiving holiday with a special meal for more than 400 people in Delaware County. ???? #CommunityGiving #Thanksgiving #EveryChildCounts #delcononprofit #delco?
