Your Legacy Matters Here

Your Legacy Matters Here

DVCC first began in 1980 as a grass-roots effort led by a few courageous, tenacious women who were determined to bring the issue of domestic violence out of the shadows and into the public. They provided safety for victims, often picking up distressed victims using the family car and driving them to safety.

Today, DVCC has grown to become among the largest domestic violence agencies in Connecticut. We offer wrap around services to support victims and meet them wherever they are on their journey to healing.

When you leave a planned gift to DVCC, you continue to be a beacon of hope for victims and children, providing help when and where it's most needed. Your gift will make a lasting impact on the lives of the most vulnerable and sustain all areas of our work including:


  • Emergency Safe Housing

  • 24-Hour Crisis Intervention

  • Counseling for Adults and Children

  • Legal Advocacy

  • Housing and Financial Advocacy

  • Preventive Education

Your planned gift ensures that no one who needs our help will have to go without it.
