Community Involvement
At Vanden Bussche Irrigation, we are fully committed to enriching the lives of all our stakeholders. One is the local community that many of our customers and employees call home, Norfolk County. Through the years, Vanden Bussche Irrigation has truly become one of the philanthropic leaders in the community with these efforts. Although the company has grown to be a national leader within our industry, the commitment to support our roots in Norfolk County has never been stronger.

Delhi District Secondary School
When Vanden Bussche Irrigation heard that Delhi District Secondary School wanted to make some upgrades to their outdoor facilities but with a small budget, we felt compelled to assist. In 2013 through a charitable partnership with Rain Maker Sprinklers, we were able to donate all the products needed for an automatic underground irrigation system at the school's sports field back. In the dry summer months, this field in the past easily became a "dust bowl". Now, regardless of rainfall on the year, these students have a proper playing surface that our community can be proud of.
Norfolk Soccer Club
Much like the playing surface at DDSS, the Norfolk Soccer Club was in need of an upgrade for their 2 field facility on the southwest end of Delhi. Again through a charitable partnership with Rain Maker Sprinklers, in 2003, we were able to donate all the products needed in order to install an automatic underground irrgation system.
