What the Foundation is doing

Immediately after the storm, the Foundation awarded a grant to the American Red Cross to aid relief efforts.

The Foundation also connected state and federal officials with area nonprofits able to deliver emergency support. Among these partnerships is a collaboration with the office of Congressman Jim Himes and the CT Food Bank to provide trucks and delivery of pallets of drinking water throughout Fairfield County.
