This program was named after Mary Gregory, a devoted counselor at DVRC until her death. This giving program reflects Mary’s kindness and generosity. We provide those who come to us for help with gift cards to local businesses to cover their basic needs.
- A gas card
- Lunch at a local restaurant
- Groceries at a local supermarket
- A pharmacy card to buy a prescription
- A gift card to a local clothing store
- A VISA/Mastercard debit card that can be used anywhere, for anything, a client might need
At all times during the year, this program provides a helping hand for those most vulnerable, those trying to change their lives and create a life free of the threat of violence.

Safety Planning
WHAT IS A SAFETY PLAN?
A safety plan is a set of actions that can help lower your risk of being hurt by your partner. It includes information specific to you and your life that will increase your safety at school, home, and other places that you go on a daily basis.
