Current activities of ALCDC include:
1. Community Food Harvest, a weekly food drive during which free food is distributed to members of the community.
The program is publicized by placing flyers at strategic locations such as the Department of Social Services,apartment complexes, trailer parks, and neighborhood homes. We source food through direct purchase from stores like Acme, Shoprite, Pathmark and BJs. We also source non-perishable food from church members, colleagues, family, and friends.
2. Community Employment Support: providing resume-writing help and job search to residents of the Delaware community. People from the community are assisted in preparing job resumes and in performing online job searches.
3. Solomon’s Closet/Esther’s Wardrobe.
This is a clothing drive, where individuals are encouraged to donate new, unused clothes, as well as lightly-used clothes to our Solomon’s Closet/ Esther’s Wardrobe for donation to the needy and ex-prisoners.
1. Collaboration: Various collaborative efforts with other not-for-profit organizations like the Salvation Army shelter and the Friendship House for the homeless in Wilmington Delaware.
2. Distribution Center of Care packages for released prisoners in collaboration with the Prison Fellowship Ministry.
