Goodwill’s Family Strengthening and Wellness Fair

The Delaware Safety Council participated in Goodwill's Family Strengthening and Wellness Fair which took place Thursday, June 20th at the Chase Center in Wilmington, Delaware. 

Over 500 employees attended the event, each employee was encouraged to visit the vendors. The  Delaware Safety Council spoke with a number of representatives about safety in the workplace, in the home, on the highway, and in the community.

Safety programs and giveaways were provided by the Delaware Safety Council, including pencils, pens, cups, rulers as well as defensive driving rack cards and schedules. Informational flyers on CPR/First Aid and Babysitting courses were also included. 

The Delaware Safety Council networked with several organizations that were also in attendance that day such as Delaware 211, New York Life Insurance, Food Bank of Delaware, and Public Allies.

Separation Day 2013

The Delaware Safety Council was happy to be part of Separation Day on Saturday, June 8, 2013. The light rain at the start of the day had community members questioning whether or not the even would even take place. However,  the weather let up, and the event turned out to be a success.

Throughout the day, Delaware Safety Council provided information to the community on safety training programs, like defensive driving, First Aid and CPR/AED, and Flagger training. Representatives from community organizations also inquired about membership opportunities and its benefits.

There were about a dozen nonprofit organizations in attendance, however Delaware Safety Council was the only organization that promoted highway safety by offering informative materials to community members on a number of topics ranging from the dangers of texting and driving to driving under the influence.

The Delaware Safety Council would like to extend a huge thanks to the City of New Castle and its staff for inviting us to be part of Separation Day!
