Every child deserves to just be a kid. 🧸

For children living in the shadow of domestic violence, play is more than fun — it’s healing. Research shows that play helps traumatized children process difficult emotions, rebuild a sense of safety, and restore the normalcy that trauma steals away. A toy. A game. A week at summer camp. These aren’t small things — they are lifelines.

We are so grateful for the incredible community partners who make this possible for the children and families we serve:

💛 To Toys for Tots and the generous donors who contribute toys and games — thank you for putting joy back in the hands of our children. Your gifts remind them that they are seen, valued, and loved.

🌟 To the organizations offering summer camp scholarships to our clients — thank you for opening doors to new friendships, new experiences, and a summer full of laughter and light.

Because of you, our children get to run, laugh, create, and simply be children — even in the hardest of seasons.

✨ Want to help bring more moments of joy and normalcy to the children we serve? Reach out to us today. Whether it’s a donation of toys and games, a camp scholarship, or simply spreading the word — every act of kindness makes a difference.

Prevention IS the mission. 🧡

Our PeaceWorks program partners with schools and law enforcement to educate teens on domestic violence — because awareness saves lives. Through specially designed curriculum, young people learn to recognize warning signs, understand healthy relationships, and access free, confidential resources when they need them. Yesterday, DVCC bilingual educator, Joao, was in Wilton High School with Officers from Wilton Police Dept, teaching a class on Stalking and Teen Dating Abuse. What a great example of community collaboration.

The far-reaching impact of this program is made possible by the dedicated individuals and grant-making organizations who fund this critical work. We are deeply grateful.

Together, we’re not just responding to domestic violence — we’re working to eliminate it.

A huge thank you to the Darien Youth Community Fund for awarding grant funding to support DVCC’s work with survivors in our community. We were so grateful for the opportunity to host members of the Youth Community Fund at DVCC for a recent site visit and conversation about the impact of our programs and services.
It’s inspiring to see the next generation learning the power of philanthropy and using their voices to create meaningful change in the community. 💛

Behind every life changed is a community that chose to care. 🤍
 
For 25 years, the United Church of Rowayton has been that community for us — showing up with donation drives, financial grants, and the kind of steadfast encouragement that sustains this work even on the hardest days.
 
This past Sunday, we were honored to visit the congregation and celebrate this enduring partnership — one built on a shared belief that everyone deserves to live free from domestic violence.
 
To United Church of Rowayton: thank you for making our mission possible, year after year. We are so grateful. 🙏
