Our Vision

Delaware Womenade, Inc. is a grassroots local women’s non-profit organization whose mission is to support women and their children who are victims and survivors of domestic violence. We also provide necessary funding for current and former foster youth within the Independent Living Program the opportunity to become self-sufficient and live independently. We accomplish these efforts through monetary donations and contributions of much needed items.

 

Our support provides critically necessary funding throughout the year to empower these families to find their path forward towards growth and independence. Often these families arrive at a shelter with their belongings in trash bags. They are fleeing for their safety from the torment of domestic abuse.

 

During the year we meet often to raise awareness, funds, and in-kind contributions. Our fundraising events include tennis and pickleball socials, a Holiday Wish Drive, and the largest fundraiser, our Annual Games Day. Our hope is, through all these donations we will make a difference to this critical need in our area. Beyond our contributions, the true impact on the lives of those who need the help, and the commitment of our group, are immeasurable.

 

We partner with organizations such as People’s Place, a non-profit organization in Milford DE. They operate three domestic violence shelters for women and children in Sussex and Kent Counties. Our partnership now includes their Independent Living Program.

 

Our mission is to inspire these families and youth, to transition into their next phase of growth and independence safely.
