What We Do

Meet Me at the Well Foundation has several programs in place to aid and serve survivors and their children. Our hope is to support survivors as they move forward in life finding success and value beyond what they imagined for themselves or their children. We come alongside as they recover and build a new life, and offer assistance where and when we can. Donations and volunteers are a large part of each of these programs.

To inquire about how you or your group can directly impact the lives of people in your community, please email us at MeetMe@TheWellDE.org

Holiday Support Services for Children

On Easter, we offer baskets to mothers who want to provide their little ones an exciting Easter. Baskets contain a Bible or Bible story book, bubbles, several small toys, a bit of candy, and a few plastic eggs with surprises.

On Christmas, we provide a way for moms to give gifts to their children on Christmas morning. We provide age-appropriate toys, hats, gloves, scarves, socks, art or coloring supplies, jewelry, collectibles, toothbrushes and other personal care items, and more. We also include a roll of tape, wrapping paper, ribbons, bows, and name tags for each child's gifts.

Birthday Program

One of the first programs our founder, Amy Day, put in place was the birthday card program. We send each survivor a birthday card with a $10 gift card to Wawa, a drug store, or a grocery store. Small gestures communicate big things! One woman told Amy she had not received a gift or card since she was seven years old. We were so grateful to break that cycle.

Fresh Start

We offer a variety of items to help women with the large expenses of furniture, linens, pantry items, cleaning tools, cleaning products, and hardware such as curtain rods. We accept donations of used furniture, dishes, and baby furniture in good condition. We can always use donations of new products such as: mops, sponges, vacuums, paper products, cleaners, canned and dry foods, beverages, diapers, and personal care products. If you would like to participate through donations or volunteering please contact us.

Holiday Meal Program

We offer survivors everything they need for a holiday meal with their family. Some have family to visit, some have the ability to supply everything, and a few have nothing to offer their children on Easter, Thanksgiving, or Christmas. We supply a ham or other holiday meat, potatoes, fresh vegetables, bread, beverages, and dessert.

Christmas Purse Program

Survivors receive a new purse filled with both necessities (winter hat, scarf and gloves, socks or slippers, and personal care items) and fun items (such as handmade jewelry, a $5 gift card, make up and nail polish, markers and a coloring book, an accent scarf, and a devotional or journal). Often, when participants express appreciation, they mention that haven't received a gift in many years.

Community Outreach & Education

We work to provide critical information to prevent exploitation, working towards the eventual end of trafficking. We have sponsored community public awareness events, provided training for the local Department of Defense Sexual Assault Response units, and presented to corporate and academic organizations. Our program informs the community through public awareness and training events, and advocates for change in social and judicial systems to see the end of commercial sexual exploitation in our community. 
We have several programs in the development stage. If you are interested in helping us build programs to assist survivors in living a healthy life of freedom contact us for more information.
