About Delco Dads
Empowering fathers to be present, engaged, and connected in their children's lives and communities. To do this, we host events, workshops, and give back whenever we can to ensure we leave Delco better for the next generation.
Our Story
Delco Dads was founded in 2026 by a small group of fathers who recognized the need for a supportive community where dads could connect, share experiences, and learn from one another.
What started as informal meetups at local parks or having garage beers after the kids fell asleep has grown into a thriving non-profit organization serving families throughout Delaware County and beyond.
Today, we offer a wide range of programs and raise funds to serve our community. Our mission remains the same: to improve our community, support kids, and create meaningful connections.
Our Mission
To strengthen families by empowering fathers through community engagement, support programs, and meaningful activities that benefit dads, their children, and the community at large
Our Vision
A community where every father has the resources, support, and connections needed to be actively engaged in their children's lives and make a positive impact. To have adequate recreational spaces in every part of the County that allow kids to explore nature, test their limits, and build confidence.
Our Impact
Our impact is measured in more than just dollars raised; it’s seen in the refurbished playgrounds where our kids play, the local schools we support, and the lifelong friendships formed between fathers who used to be strangers. By prioritizing Community, Kids, and Connections, Delco Dads transforms individual efforts into collective action.
Whether we are providing resources for families in need or showing up for a park cleanup, our work ensures that every child in Delaware County benefits from a more engaged, supported, and connected network of fathers. When we show up for each other, we build a legacy that our kids can see and feel every single day.
