Domestic Abuse Project of Delaware County, Inc. DAP provides direct services to prevent domestic violence and empower victims to move towards self-sufficiency.

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. Founded 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.

Thank you Delaware County Chamber of Commerce for this recognition of our work and impact across Delaware County!

Today, as it was 50 years ago, domestic abuse is an issue that knows no gender, race, religion, socio-economic situation, education level, or zip code. And while it is still something that happens behind closed doors, it does not have to stay that way.

1 in 3 women & 1 in 4 men in the US will experience domestic violence in their lifetime.

The math is simple - everyone knows someone. Pay attention, learn the various ways domestic abuse presents itself. Learn about DAP's services, share them - often. Our advocates are always ready to take the call of someone in need of support. Call us 24/7 at 610-565-4590.

Thank you, again, to the Chamber of Commerce for acknowledging our mission and impact. đź’ś
