Community Involvement

Our commitment to finding answers doesn’t end with our customers. We are constantly finding new ways to give back to our communities and the people who surround us.

D+H provides meaningful and ongoing support for over 100 non-profit organizations every year, with a focus in the areas of:

  • Health and social services
  • Youth education and development
  • Arts and culture

We answer our commitment to help others by choosing worthy causes in each area for financial contributions and by getting actively involved in organizations – at either a corporate level or by encouraging our employees to get involved.

The United Way is one of our prime conduits for employee and company caring. Together, we have donated a significant amount of money and time to the United Way over the years because we know that this organization makes a demonstrable difference in the well-being of our communities. We’re proud to have been recognized with the United Way’s prestigious Spirit Award over the past two years, acknowledging the tremendous success of our employee-led campaigns.

Beyond the United Way and the financial support we provide to a broad range of other charities, we encourage our employees to be active in the communities in which they live – volunteering of their time and talents to make a difference. D+H encourages this support by contributing monetarily to organizations and charities that our employees have chosen to support. Corporately, D+H provides financial and mentoring support to a nearby community agency that offers settlement and employment support in a community where over half the population consists of new immigrants to Canada.

Our cause awareness cheque program is another way in which we support charitable giving. With this program, a portion of the purchase price of these cheques support the named charity, and every time a cheque is used, the charity benefits from name recognition.

Working to find answers that address challenges is a core part of our DNA and it’s gratifying to see the difference we can make.
