Community Involvement

Roger's Parade 2011

Here at Diamond Delivery, we take community involvement seriously. To us, it is just one of many ways we can and should give back to the community that has helped us climb this high.

Diamond Delivery has had a staple presence at the Roger's Santa Clause Parade for several years, and once again we donated a truck and trailer to pull the Boys and Girls Club of Vancouver's float. Here are some of the pictures taken from the Parade:

The little things we take for granted: Fun for kids in Africa

Diamond Delivery and The Rick & Sue Foundation arranged to bring soccer uniforms and equipment to the needy children in Africa. The kids were excited to wear the uniforms and delighted to use real soccer balls – for in the past they used balls of string, bags or whatever they could find to improvise a ball.  The kids also received bikes, from the generous donations Diamond Delivery and the Foundation in turn, received from our caring community. These children feel as though they’ve won the lottery, with the little things we take for granted!

Surrey Memorial Hospitals in-house babies

Once again, more than 4,000 babies have been born at Surrey Memorial Hospital over the past year.

But in the case of two special babies, it was the hospital receiving – not delivering – them.

They are SimBabies: realistic simulation dolls that allow the Emergency and Neonatal Intensive Care departments to practice medical scenarios so they can function smoothly as a team when the real thing occurs.

Earlier in the fall, Diamond Delivery delivered a truck full of red bricks to Kawkawa Camp & Retreat. We recently received a letter from the Executive Director of the Camp, Wayne Stewart, and wanted to share it with you:
