foundations fuel families

Established in your name or in memory of or in honor of a friend, relative or cause, your fund may be unrestricted or restricted.

BRANFORD FOOD PANTRY
In the last year, the Branford Food Pantry (formerly the Branford Food Council) has had 100 new Branford families arrive in need of food. These families have lost their jobs and their homes or have huge medical expenses. Many haven’t needed us for several years, but have had to come back because of the tough times. It is because of generosity of the Branford Community Foundation, and like-minded donors, the Food Pantry has been able to maintain a good supply of food for the residents in need of help.


BRANFORD HIGH SCHOOL CHOIR
In 2010, over 100 Branford High School singers and their director, Cathyann Roding, found themselves stranded in Italy after winning five trophies at the Verona International Choir Competition. The eruption of the Iceland volcano forced the cancellation of European flights. They returned home after eight extra days, but financially, this presented a problem for many families. The Branford Community Foundation and others, made donations that helped several families pay for the additional expenses.
