United Way of Coastal and Western CT

We had an amazing time at the New Milford Family Fest and Community Connections event with Cora’s Kids! 🎉 Families enjoyed fun activities, connected with local community organizations, and took advantage of important vaccination opportunities provided by the Health Department. Thank you to everyone who came out to support and engage with our wonderful New Milford families!

Let’s come together to support 275 + families in the New Milford area! With your generous contributions, we can make this happen. Your donations will help us buy turkeys and other essential goodies. Every little bit counts! Just $50 provides a Thanksgiving meal for a family. Join us in making a difference and supporting the New Milford Food Bank’s Thanksgiving Baskets Program. 🦃🍂 To make a monetary donation, visit: https://loom.ly/waXlglg

Happy National Boss's Day to our CEO and President, Isabel Almeida! 💙

On Wednesday, over 100 community advocates gathered at the State Capitol to stand in solidarity with ALICE families, shedding light on the struggles they face every day. We listened to the powerful stories of four ALICE families, highlighting the harsh reality of making ends meet, and heard from state legislators who are dedicated to addressing these urgent issues. Together, we are working toward unlocking a future of financial stability for all. #UnlockALICE #StandWithALICE
