How You Can Help

Donate

The reasons individuals make charitable donations can be as varied as the donors themselves. Some give because they have a personal commitment to the cause - they may know a relative, friend, or employee who has been the victim of domestic violence or sexual assault. They may give because of a more general desire to assist those in need who are less fortunate than themselves - to share the good fortune they have in life. Still others give not because they have great personal wealth, but because they have a compassionate heart and it feels good to help others.

Welcome To The Domestic Abuse Council

Our mission is to empower survivors of domestic violence through compassionate, trauma-informed care and unwavering advocacy. We partner with our community to ensure every survivor—and their children—find safety, justice, and the opportunity to heal. We believe that breaking the cycle of abuse strengthens families and builds a safer, more resilient Volusia County.

Our Values
    • We believe strong communities begin with safe, healthy families and relationships.
    • We honor each survivor’s unique journey, nurturing their strengths through empowerment and support.
    • We are committed to listening deeply and responding with care—ensuring every survivor’s voice is heard, respected, and valued.
    • We embrace diversity and deliver culturally responsive services that reflect the lived experiences of those we serve.
