We are incredibly grateful for the compassion and leadership of our Executive Director, who recently launched a staff food bank to support our team during challenging times. When life becomes overwhelming and resources are stretched thin, having access to basic necessities like food can make all the difference.

A heartfelt thank you to the United Way of Greater Waterbury for their generous grant, which will help sustain and grow this important initiative. Your support is making a meaningful impact on the well-being of our staff, and we couldn’t be more appreciative.

Creativity! 🌱

Thank you to the Connecticut Community Foundation for supporting inclusive, sustainable arts programming

This week in our Art of Engagement program participants created Party Shakers from recycled paper towel rolls! ♻️🥳 Using simple materials that might normally be thrown away, everyone decorated their own shaker and filled it with fun sounds to celebrate creativity and sustainability.

We are grateful for the opportunity to combine artistic expression with environmentally friendly practices while building confidence, creativity, and joy.

Our artists had a great time designing colorful shakers and making music together! 🎶
