More about the Woodbridge Twp. DVR Team

The Woodbridge Twp. Domestic Violence Response Team was created in 1993. Initially with only 7 members we've grown to roughly 35 members now, and are always looking for more! We are an all volunteer team and completely self-supporting. We hold fund raisers during the year and rely on the kindness of our neighbors to raise money for our cause. All of the proceeds go towards helping the community. We use the funds raised to purchase resources, informational pamphlets, and handouts for victims; educational programs for school children and the community; and continuing domestic violence education and training for new and existing team members.

We work hand in hand with the Woodbridge Police Department to provide the best possible support and assistance to each victim. A member is always on call - we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to the community we service. To date we have offered assistance to thousands of victims of domestic violence and made many strides in educating our community. We provide support and assistance to any victim, regardless of race, religion or gender. Unfortunately, we have much more work to do as domestic violence remains at epidemic proportions. In 2010 there were 923 reported cases of domestic violence in Woodbridge Twp alone! Imagine how many more cases went unreported.  

There are multiple ways to reach us: 

1) The best way is for you to go down to the Woodbridge Twp Police Department and ask to speak with the volunteer on call. They will call one of our training seasoned members to come down to the station to meet with you.

2) You can call our phone number 732-634-4500, ext. 2812. The number is not maned 24/7 but you are welcome to leave a message and someone will get back to you shortly.

3) You can email us at dvteam@woodbridgedvrt.org. This email address is also not maned 24/7 but someone will return your email as soon as possible. 

Again - your absolute best way to reach someone is to go down to the police station and ask to speak with a member. Someone is on call every day of the year to listen, offer support and encouragement, discuss your options, and provide any information assistance you may need.
