About
Here For You
Founded in 2022, The CDAC has made tremendous impact for Domestic Abuse survivors in the NYC area. One in three women (and one in ten men) will experience intimate partner violence in their lifetime. It's an epidemic. The CDAC offers food, clothing, sanitary items, trauma-informed wellness classes, as well as housing and legal referrals to those experiencing Domestic Abuse. The CDAC works with local food donors and the 100-Free Fridge Network in NYC to provide food and fresh produce to victims of Domestic Violence.
Please contact us if you are in need --
Or join us by supporting our efforts to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others by becoming a volunteer or donor! The CDAC accepts donations at $TheCDAC on CashApp, or by Venmo or Zelle.
