How you can help

The numbers are startling. The stories are heartbreaking. And the need is real.

Every day, individuals and families in our community face the devastating realities of domestic violence. In 2023 alone, Domestic Violence Service Center provided services to 2,854 victims, children, and significant others throughout Luzerne and Carbon Counties.

​

Behind every number is a person, a family, and a life deserving of safety, dignity, and hope.

For 50 years, DVSC has been a source of support for those impacted by domestic violence. But we cannot do this work alone.

​

As the demand for services continues and funding becomes increasingly uncertain, the generosity of our community is more important than ever. Every donation, whether monetary or through the purchase of essential items, helps us continue providing critical services and resources to those who need them most.

Your generosity is more than a donation. It's an investment in safety, healing, and new beginnings.

Together, we can continue making a difference, one life at a time.
