“We are so honored to be able to continue to serve the community. The advocates and counselors that are serving the Hunterdon community come to DASACC collectively with a wealth of experience, knowledge and dedication. We are fortunate to add them to our team,” DASACC’s Executive Director Jill Zinckgraf,said

Last year DASACC served over 935 women, children and men impacted by violence including 4,100 bed nights at DASACC’s emergency shelter. Over 2,200 crisis calls were answered by those accessing DASACC’s 24/7 hotline.

DASACC is committed to providing stellar services to the Hunterdon & Warren County communities and to all survivors who identify themselves being impacted by domestic violence and/or sexual assault. The agency will continue to serve its mission to help, serve, and advocate for those impacted by interpersonal violence, to be proactive regarding its prevention, and to create positive change. DASACC provides services to all victims regardless of their age, race, gender identity, socioeconomic status, immigration status, ability level or sexual orientation, or religion.
