This Valentine’s Day, we are sharing the love through CFA’s Children’s Fund. 💗

Because of this fund, we are able to support our most vulnerable children with urgent needs such as, food, winter clothing, safety essentials, childcare, and emergency housing. It also helps provide camp tuition, sports equipment, and enrichment opportunities that let children simply be children.

Help us provide safety, stability, and opportunity.

The Children’s Fund is a restricted fund at CFA dedicated to supporting our most vulnerable children. It is not used for operational expenses and serves as a true safety net when other program funding and local resources are no longer available.

Due to inclement weather, the CFA Urgent Crisis Center (UCC) and Early Childhood Development Centers (ECDC) are closed today. All other physical facilities are closed, and services are being provided remotely.

The UCC follows Connecticut state office closures for weather-related decisions, and each ECDC follows its local school district in Groton or New London.

If you are in crisis or need immediate assistance, please call 211 or 911.

Stay safe and warm today!

Today we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and reflect on his enduring call for justice and equality. May we each find small ways to live out these values in our communities.
