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

 The H.E.A.L. Program

HEAL is a four module workshop that provides survivors with hands-on opportunities to strengthen skills in Health, Empowerment, Awareness, and Leadership. HEAL mentorships is at the pace of the survivor, and group sessions are available as well. The modules are not linear and can be accessed for as long as the survivor chooses to participate.
Health - learning the power of movement and nutrition in physical and emotional healing.
Empowerment - discovering strengths and applying them to recognize the power of their voice in self-efficacy, choices, and boundaries.
Awareness - understanding vulnerabilities and how to build resilience around them, especially in relationships.
Leadership - practicing skills learned to set goals and achieve them with thoughtful and long-term guidance as well as creating visually engaging vision boards.

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 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. If you would like to participate through donations or volunteering please contact us.

Holiday Support 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 holidays including Easter, Thanksgiving, or Christmas. 

Purses with Purpose 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, creative writing supplies, 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. 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 disrupt trafficking 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 in freedom, contact us for more information.
