The cycle of violence doesn't break for the holidays or change with the seasons.  Just yesterday, DOVE responded to over 50 individuals who needed our help. Now we need yours.  Together we offer hope, healing and increase safety, and help 3,500 survivors to seek a non-violent future each year.   

To jumpstart our effort, Mr. Daniel Quirk, President of Quirk Auto Dealers has offered to make a donation for every donor that gives to the campaign (up to $1,000). DOVE's goal is for 1,000 individuals to support the campaign to bring in$35,000 to honor DOVE's 35 years of critically important domestic violence services.
