A Message from our Director

What does re-opening mean for your business? Are you focused on the date you can open, the safety procedures to follow or the willingness of customers to patronize your business again? It's a lot to manage, so we've launched our
Reopen CT
webpage, where we will continue to post updated information as it becomes available to help your business get back on its feet.
What's next? I invite you to find out next week at our Virtual Business Meeting with Mayor Hess. We look forward to hearing an update from the Mayor on some of the ways that the pandemic has affected the town and offer the opportunity for a Q&A session.
Be sure to register today
so as not to miss it!
The Chamber team is looking ahead with responsibly planning for the functions that are crucial to supporting our community. Our annual
Golf Tournament
in conjunction with the Naugatuck YMCA has been rescheduled to August 17th, when we believe a combination of sanitizing and social distancing measures will produce a safe and successful event. In addition, we are working to develop a safe online way for our local non-profits to continue to raise funds for their organization through a modified Duck Race, so stay tuned! Have a nonprofit that would like to participate? Email me at cligi@waterburychamber.com by May 27
th
to learn more.
We continue to compile other pandemic-related business resources on our
COVID-19 Resource page
, and you can, of course, reach out to us with any questions or concerns.
Looking forward to seeing you again soon and thank you for your commitment to the Chamber and the community,

15th Annual Duck Race: September 6th
|
|
Our team is excited to move forward with new and innovative ways to support our community and knows that our participating Non-Profits need the support now more than ever!
How will you get involved in the Naugatuck Chamber's Signature Event?
|
|
Non-Profits, school organizations and charitable organizations raised over $20,000 for their causes last year by selling Duck Day raffle tickets. Our team is developing a system for non-profits to raise money through online ticket sales for a contactless way to make money for their organization!
|
|
Our Non-Profits are able to raise money for their organizations thanks to the generosity of our prize donors! If your business is looking to give back to the Naugatuck community, consider donating a great prize to motivate those ticket buyers.

Thank you to all of the First Responders and Emergency Personnel on the front lines fighting the virus. In support of our customers, community and fellow businesses, Sibby's Automotive would like to offer 20% off any vehicle repair. We are currently open for business and our staff has adopted all sanitation and safety practices outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Our tow trucks are still on the road for any towing needs. We are now offering pickup and delivery of vehicles needing repairs. As a small business, we understand the impact COVID 19 closures are having on other businesses, individuals and families.
