On October 13th, 2020, Colchester Cares members joined together virtually to discuss various needs in the town of Colchester. The group had $1,600 total to give, and decided to split the money to give to the following causes:

1. Colchester Rotary Club: Our donation is helping fund the Rotary's Thanksgiving Basket initiative, which distributes 150+ fully stocked Thanksgiving dinners to Colchester families in need.

2. Youth and Social Services Town of Colchester: YSS is using our group's donation to support families who are in need during the pandemic.

3.Colchester Lions Club: Our donation is helping fund the Lions Club Holiday Basket initiative, which distributes 150+ dinners to Colchester families in need this December.

​Thank you to all Colchester Cares members for supporting these organizations, who in turn do amazing things for our town. COVID-19 has presented many challenges to these organizations, we are so glad we can help support their initiatives.

On July 14th, Colchester Cares members joined together virtually to discuss various causes and needs in the town. This quarter we had $1,000 to give. We decided to split the $1,000 to support several initiatives:

1. A portion of the money is being used to purchase gift cards from Kidsignments of Colchester. Colchester Youth and Social Services will help get the gift cards to those in need. 

2. Colchester Cares will also use a portion of the money to partner with Fud Delivery to offer a free delivery day for Colchester residents on July 29th, 2020. Fud Delivery and their Colchester Restaurant Partners will cook and deliver their delicious food on this day at no additional delivery cost to the community. 

3. Lastly, we are donating a portion of the money to David Wyatt to support his Eagle Scout Troop 72 project to build two new baseball dugouts at his high school, Norwich Tech.
