The Fight for the Right group is the DPD’s client community service group. The name was created by a member of the group and implies fighting for what is right and providing service to those in our local communities, nation and worldwide who are in need. They have held many drives to provide food, supplies, funds, clothing and products to our military troops and veterans, food banks, animal shelters and sanctuaries, families in new homes built by Habitat for Humanity and women in need of business attire for job interviews. They also made and delivered appreciation gifts to law enforcement officers and military veterans. The group is led by volunteer, Jenn Minervino. Meetings are held monthly to share project ideas, and decide which ones will be performed.
Residents who wish to praise God in another denomination are encouraged to do so and are provided transportation by their staff.
