Mission of the Month
Each month, as part of our broader program of Missions, Peace Dale Congregational Church supports a local non-profit organization or program focused on addressing needs within the local community.
Domestic Violence Resource Center of South County
January 2025
We start the new year by supporting a critical organization in our community as our mission of the month. Many of you may remember that Kathy Carland spoke to us in early November about The Domestic Violence Resource Center of South County, a non-profit that is making an important difference in the lives and futures of many women and children here in South County.
From their webpage:
“The Domestic Violence Resource Center (DVRC) of South County is a Trauma-Informed Agency whose main focus is to help victims of domestic violence break the cycle of abuse in their lives. Each department, Advocacy, Case Management, and Counseling are all here to provide resources, guidance, and support to help victims get to safety, become independent, and heal.”
“The DVRC is working to change the social norms that contribute to the continuance of violence. Our goal is to help a victim break the cycle of violence and heal in order to have healthy relationships in the future.”
“DVRC provides a comprehensive range of services for victims of domestic violence and their children, including a confidential Safe Home, Transitional Housing and Permanent Supportive Housing units, a Helpline & Drop-In Center, Support Groups, One-on-One Counseling and Court Advocacy.”
Please visit their webpage at https://dvrcsc.org/ for more information.
