Delta Gamma Foundation

Internationally, Delta Gammas give more than 90,000 hours a year in volunteer service to their communities. However, the work of the Foundation extends beyond service.

•To provide guidance, support, and praise to all Delta Gamma volunteers.

•To set and achieve standards for volunteer service.

VISION SCREENING

Detroit East DGs continue to “Do Good” in our neighborhood preschools by conducting vision screening with four-year-old children. If you’ve never screened before, training will be provided (it’s quite easy!). Exact dates, times, and places are available by contacting Carrie Calcaterra at carriecalc@comcast.net. Thanks to all who graciously volunteer in this meaningful endeavor.
