To the editor:
Too many of our local families and individuals are suddenly struggling for food, housing, employment and protection from domestic violence. Fairfield County nonprofits are straining to help. But just as the demand for their services is skyrocketing, donations are declining.
Where can people who want to help be most effective in their giving? As board chair of the Fairfield County Community Foundation and a resident of Greenwich, I would like your readers to know that our foundation is offering a smart way to contribute: The Fairfield County Community Foundation will match donations made to the Safety Net Giving Circle, established by us to help area residents hit hardest by this economic crisis.
Thanks to a generous $100,000 matching grant from an anonymous donor, contributions made to the Safety Net Giving Circle by Jan. 15 will be matched. Ultimately $200,000 will be distributed to 10 area nonprofits to assist residents throughout Fairfield County in these difficult times to meet their basic needs. The Giving Circle will pool individual donations to amplify the impact of each gift.
The 10 nonprofits our foundation is working with are: Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County, Neighbor to Neighbor, Catholic Charities, Southwestern Connecticut Agency on Aging, Person to Person, Operation Hope, Norwalk Community Health Center, Domestic Violence Crisis Center, Center for Women and Families and Tbico (community-based work force development).
Donations can be made either online or by check. More information is available at www.fccfoundation.org. The foundation's address is 383 Main Avenue, Norwalk, 06851
Thank you for helping us to promote this most important initiative.
