 With dignity and respect, the Community Resource Center helps  individuals and families get to the next step of their journey towards  self-sufficiency and stability. 

 The Delaware Coalition Against Domestic Violence envisions a First State  where safe, healthy, equitable relationships, families and communities  thrive. 

First  State was the first, and remains the only, Community Action Agency in  the State of  Delaware.  Formed in 1965  as the Sussex County Community  Action Agency by a group of concerned citizens, we have grown to  encompass the entire State, offering a diverse array of programs that  target the root causes of poverty.  Still going strong after 57 years! 

 We solicit, collect, purchase and warehouse food from farmers,  manufacturers, brokers, wholesalers, retailers and others in the food  industry and redistribute it to partners that provide free food to the  hungry. In addition to our partnerships, we also distribute food through  home delivery partnerships, mobile pantries and food pantries at our  Newark and Milford facilities. We take a multi-pronged approach to  alleviating hunger. We also offer workforce training programs, financial  coaching, nutrition education and benefits outreach. 

 While SERCAP was founded in Virginia in 1969, the agency expanded its  service region into seven (7) southeastern states in the mid-1990s.  Currently, SERCAP’s Delaware Team is based out of the Town of Frankford  in Sussex County, and serves the state of Delaware and the Eastern Shore  of Maryland.

SERCAP's Regional Program provides training,  technical, and financial assistance to rural communities,  water/wastewater treatment facilities, public and private utilities,  public service authorities (PSAs), planning district commissions (PDCs),  etc. to support water/wastewater infrastructure projects, community  development, and economic development. SERCAP's technical assistance  (TA) helps rural communities and water/wastewater systems to build  capacity, become self-sustaining, and achieve or maintain compliance  with local, state, and federal regulations.

SERCAP’s Delaware office offers a special Septic System Pump-Out Program, only available to Delaware residents.

 Our mission is to "prepare youth, adults, and their families for successful lives"  by providing them with academic, social, and emotional tools. The  organization uses creative approaches in mentoring and education to help  individuals become healthy, productive, and responsible citizens 

 We provide support for formerly incarcerated individuals, including housing & job readiness programs.  

 At What Is Your Voice, Inc., our mission is to empower and support survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, and related crises by providing skilled Peer Support Advocacy, holistic care, and pathways to long-term independence. Through a structured and therapeutic model, we guide individuals and  families toward healing, self-sufficiency, and community reintegration. 

SARC is committed to providing healing, hope and empowerment to individuals whose lives have been impacted by sexual violence or domestic violence, whether the assault happened yesterday or many years ago.
