The Impact You're Helping Us Make
We want to send a heartfelt thank you to all who contributed time, talent, and treasure that allowed us to assemble 22,000 face shields that have now been distributed to more than 40 hospitals, healthcare facilities, nursing homes, fire and police departments, EMS, healthcare related nonprofits, town offices, childcare facilities, group homes, shelters, and health departments throughout the four towns we serve and in other parts of CT. On behalf of all who benefited from your gifts – thank you!
Your donated time turned our estimated weeks-long face shield project into an eleven-day project with 22,000 face shields assembled and distributed to health care workers around central Connecticut!
Your generosity has made an everlasting impact on our community.

"We are extremely fortunate that during our greatest challenge, we serve a city that cares; a community that is engaged and is willing to provide assistance in any way they can. Our firefighters are not only appreciative of the donated face masks supplied by volunteers and OKAY Industries, but we are grateful that the Community Foundation of Greater New Britain was able to cover the cost that allows the city's public safety agencies to continue providing the services the city has become accustomed to receiving. We are forever thankful and grateful." - Chief Raul Ortiz, New Britain Fire Department
COVID-19 Emergency Grants
"Thank you for supporting CMHA’s request for COVID emergency funds. Being able to maintain our critical services through telehealth is so very important to our clients, particularly during these uncertain times. We appreciate the Foundation’s swift response to the COVID crisis’ impact on our services and clients." - Marie Mormile-Mehler, CMHA  
Your monetary gifts have enabled us to award over $120,000 in emergency grants to area nonprofits serving the residents of Berlin, New Britain, Plainville, and Southington and also to respond to community needs for the most vulnerable during this crisis.
Your gift today to our COVID-19 Fund allows us to make more grants to organizations helping the most vulnerable in our community with innovative programs.
Together we will get through these trying times. We could not do any of what we do without you. Once again from your Community Foundation team, thank you!
