DVA! Community Engagement Center Introduces Itself
The new center is designed to play many roles.
Delaware Valley Action! is on the verge of opening the DVA! Community
Engagement Center—a community-funded and sponsored multifunctional space.
The Center is designed to be a hub for community connection, providing a welcoming environment for diverse groups and activities.
The DVA! Community Engagement Center is intended to be a dynamic space where community members, groups and organizations can meet, share ideas, and participate in a variety of activities. From proposed book clubs to craft circles, art classes, and poetry workshops, the Center will host a range of events open to the public. The variety of regularly scheduled programs encourage a sense of belonging and
camaraderie.
Features and Activities:
Drop-in Center: The Center will have posted open hours starting in January, and during these times, DVA! welcomes individuals to connect, make friends, and engage in activities such as playing games or ping pong, listening to poetry or working on puzzles from the puzzle library.
Classes: Hosted by community members, we encourage those with talents to share to offer classes (one off or series) to our community. Whether it's starting a mystery book club, finding a D&D game, or connecting with crafters to use up your stash of scraps, we are encouraging people to use our space, and find a group to join or start.
Free Store: The Center will pilot a "free store" to provide essential items, initially beginning with diapers, wipes, menstrual products, and laundry products. This no-questions-asked pantry aims to complement existing community services, addressing the needs of residents. This will be open during drop-in hours and by appointment.
Sneak Preview Opening Event: Join DVA! for a Sneak Preview Opening Party on
Wednesday, December 13th, at 6 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to bring an item to
donate to the free store and celebrate the beginning of this community initiative.
Location: The DVA! Community Engagement Center at 315 Broad Street, off of Apple
Alley in Milford, PA
