Caring Unlimited-York County's Domestic Violence Resource Center

It is the mission of Caring Unlimited to work with the community to end domestic violence in York County (Maine). This includes providing support and safe haven to adults and their children whose lives are affected by domestic abuse in a manner that honors their essential worth, nurtures their inherent strengths and respects their right of self-determination.

Since 1977, when a small group of local women joined together to help their friends and neighbors find safety from the terror of domestic abuse, Caring Unlimited has offered confidential safety planning and supports, free of charge, to anyone victimized in an intimate relationship.

Over the years the organization has grown from the grassroots efforts of a few committed volunteers with no funding to a staff of over twenty-five advocates and more than fifty volunteers with a budget of over 3 million dollars from federal, state and local sources.

Services include the 24-Hour Helpline, Individual Advocacy, Support/Education Groups, Legal Assistance, Emergency Shelter, Transitional Housing and Community Response Program including consultation, training and systems advocacy with York County agencies, schools and community-based organizations, and much, much more. In 2024, we added a Certified Domestic Violence Intervention Program to
