Delta Faucet Supports Firefly Children & Family Alliance

Community Development

For the third year in a row, the Working Parents Community (WPC) at Delta Faucet Company partnered with Firefly Children & Family Alliance to raise funds for their Children’s Shelter and Courage Center.

After collecting $2,400 in monetary and product donations, WPC members delivered over 100 items to Firefly earlier this month, including backpacks, hair care products and other essentials – just in time for the new school year.

“Seeing how DFC colleagues rally to support our community is always powerful,” says WPC member Kara Sheads. “It’s gratifying to know that our donations will add to Firefly services that benefit the youth in our community.”

Located near Delta Faucet Company headquarters in Indianapolis, Firefly is committed to strengthening the foster care community. Thank you to everyone who contributed to make this year’s drive a success!
