About:
The DCA Darien Community Association is a privately-funded nonprofit that does not receive any financial support from the Town of Darien. Since 1923 we’ve been making our community a nicer place to live, by providing people of all ages a place to gather, give and learn.
The Darien Men’s Association is legally organized under the DCA. They use the DCA as a meeting venue as well as for support services.
How you can contribute:
Since its inception in 1923, the DCA has relied on our hardworking volunteers, who enjoy contributing to our mission, and impacting the Darien community in a positive way. Over 150 volunteers support the many facets of our organization. Access the DCA website for information as to current volunteering opportunities.
