A Message from our Director
The Holidays are quickly approaching and we're all busy both at work and at home. In the 'rush' that accompanies this time of year, the Chamber reminds you to make an effort to shop local.
Your fellow members have the resources to provide you with amazing gifts, catering, pastries and experiences for the holidays. I invite you to turn to your membership directory - either printed or online - when looking to fill your holiday needs (

Please reach out to me at any time at (203) 757-0701 or at
cligi@waterburychamber.com to let me know how our team can further support you and your business.
Thank you,

Ion Bank Foundation Awards $5,000 Grant to Secure Jobs CT and $2,500 Grant to The Children's Museum
The Ion Bank Foundation has awarded a $5,000 grant to Secure Jobs Connecticut - Northwest Region. This program is geared toward providing aid to homeless families, and preventing the formerly homeless and unemployed from losing their jobs and houses. The goal of the program is to raise the income of families transitioning from homelessness to housing by connecting them to the education, training, and support they need to secure and maintain stable employment. Families in this program receive rapid re-housing assistance through the CT Rapid Re-Housing Program and employment services and support from the American Job Centers. The Ion Bank Foundation has also awarded a $2,500 grant to The Children's Museum, Inc., the fifth oldest children's museum in the country, for their Science Achievement for All (SAFA) program for Pre-K through Grade 8 students in Meriden, CT. SAFA programs provide hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) enrichment opportunities that foster learning, supplement teachers curricula, and promote enthusiasm for science. In addition to providing interactive and compelling classes for students, supplemental resources are provided to teachers so they may continue the lessons after the programs have ended.
