A huge thank you to the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut for the Basic Needs of Northern CT Grant awarded to CHR to serve individuals and families in Willimantic.

A staff member in Willimantic was able to use this grant to purchase a Stop & Shop gift card for one of their clients. The client was moved to tears stating, "You have no idea how much this helped!"
