Delta Opposes Violence Everywhere
Coordinating Committee

The Delta Opposes Violence Everywhere Committee (DOVE) is comprised of members from various community service agencies within Delta, whose focus is relationship violence. The committee's coordinated efforts work toward reducing gaps in services and increasing education for the citizens of Delta. The Dove committee's objective is also to increase public awareness surrounding violence in relationships.
