Counseling, Emergency Safe House, 24/7 Crisis Hotline, Court Accompaniment, Legal Services, Education & more The Domestic Abuse Project (DAP) provides service to victims of domestic violence. Services are provided at no cost through the 24/7 crisis-hotline, counseling, legal, Safe House and community outreach. The programs work together to support each victim and the Delaware County community. Fou

nded in 1976 as part of a volunteer effort to provide safety, advocacy and supportive services to victims of domestic abuse, not otherwise available within Delaware County, DAP continues to rely on community support to meet the needs of victims of abuse. DAP utilizes interns and volunteers who provide crisis intervention to victims through the emergency 24/7 crisis-hotline, Safe House and direct support for legal services. Volunteers are an important part of our organization and support DAP's mission by providing customer service at our thrift store, attending outreach events and covering the front desk. In addition to direct services to victims of domestic violence and their children, DAP operates Nana's Attic Thrift Store located in Broomall. Since February 2002, Nana's Attic has been a source of earned income for DAP as well as a resource for resident women and children of DAP's safe house.

Welcome to the Widener University Pride class of 2030! Thank you to and Widener’s orientation team for inviting DAP to come speak to the incoming freshman class about the services available to them if they or someone they care about find themselves in an abusive relationship.

With the most common age range for intimate partner abuse victims is 18 to 24, it’s incredibly important for college students to be aware local agencies like DAP are there to support them.

Today is National Nonprofit Day. For DAP, that means 50 years of answering the hotline day and night, providing safe shelter, walking with survivors through the path to safety.

Our history is with the people who volunteered, gave, served on our board, worked here, or found safety here. As we mark 50 years, we're collecting those memories - a reflection, a photo, an old event program, a newspaper clipping.

24/7 Hotline: 610-565-4590. Free and confidential, always.

As DAP marks 50 years, we're gathering memories, reflections, photos, and historical materials from everyone who's been part of the journey.
