The Delta Opposes Violence Everywhere Committee (DOVE) is comprised of members from various community service agencies within Delta, whose focus is the prevention of relationship violence through Education. The DOVE committee's objective is to increase public awareness surrounding violence in relationships and the committee's coordinated efforts work toward reducing any gaps in services that may exist in the Delta area.
Emergency Care Kits: The DOVE Committee has undertaken a project which will provide the member agencies with emergency care kits to give to women or men who are leaving an abusive relationship. Kits will also include personal care items and activities for the children.
Donations in the form of products and monetary funding are being collected by a DOVE sub-committee. If you are interested in helping, please email .
