Westport Domestic Violence Task Force Announces Gift Card Drive

The following announcement is from the Westport Domestic Violence Task Force:

WESTPORT, CT — From Tuesday, December 6th through Tuesday, December 13th, the Westport Domestic Violence Task Force (WDVTF) will be collecting gift cards for residents of the two Domestic Violence Crisis Center (DVCC) safe houses and community clients.

We are asking our community to support domestic violence victims this holiday season. Gift
cards are a meaningful way to do something kind and allow survivors the dignity to purchase
what they most need or want for their families. Suggested retailers include Stop & Shop,
ShopRite, Amazon, Target, and Walmart.

The Domestic Violence Crisis Center (DVCC) supports individuals on their journey to safety.
DVCC advocates for individuals who are experiencing abuse in personal relationships. It offers
multiple services and professional staff to help those experiencing any level of domestic violence
and assist them in building a safer environment for the well-being of themselves and their
families. All victim services are free and confidential, and all services offered are
multicultural/multilingual.

Gift cards can be left with the dispatch center located in the lobby of the Westport Police Department, 50 Jesup Road, between December 6th and 13th.

If you or someone you know is in need of assistance, help can be reached via the 24-hour hotline,
1-888-774-2900 and additional information can be found on the DVCC website, www.dvccct.org
