A heartfelt thank you to Delaware Park Casino for selecting St. Patrick’s Center as their Community Partner of the Month this March!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of Delaware Park patrons, team members, and the organization itself, $12,000 was raised to support the programs and services we provide to individuals, families, and seniors in our community.

Partnerships like this make a meaningful impact and help us continue our mission of serving those in need with dignity and compassion. We are truly grateful for Delaware Park’s support and commitment to our community. 💚

Last week, the St. Patrick's Board came together to acknowledge the commencement of Part 1 of the Center's renovation project, a feat that has been a labor of love for our Building and Grounds Committee members for many months.

Thank you to our dedicated Committee members including Chairperson Terri Young, Executive Director Peter Slattery, Board Members Joe Smith and Joe Yacyshyn, as well as Carl Krienen of ABHA Architects and their team.

Now, let's get to work!

In making these contributions, you have ensured operations at St. Patrick's Center for the coming year. You are facilitating real life successes and are giving hope to any Wilmington resident in need who comes through our doors.

🍀 We are inspired by the profound generosity of this community.

🌟 HUGE shoutout to Saint Mark's HS! 🌟

Not only did they send an incredible group of volunteers to the Center today, but they also delivered a generous donation of warm blankets and emergency blankets. As temperatures continue to drop, items like these, along with winter coats, hats and gloves are absolutely critical for keeping our neighbors safe and warm. We are so grateful for their compassion and support! 💚

Great job, Spartans! 💪
