It all began in 1897 when we began providing child care to working Italian immigrant families. As Della Lamb interacted with these low-income families, other vital needs were identified… rent and utility assistance, food, clothing among others. These services became the forerunner of today’s Emergency Social Services program, meeting the individual needs of families that are a barrier to self-sufficiency. Today, Della Lamb continues to be a valued community partner to thousands of low-income families.
Della Lamb needs volunteers! We have many opportunities to get involved. Whether you want to help stock our food pantry, clean out a closet, coach a youth team or even paint, we’d love to see you!
