In addition, $15,300 from memorial funds the Branford Community Foundation holds and manages was distributed to high school seniors in the form of scholarships for their education.

CAMP HAZEN
Located on the shores of Cedar Lake in Chester, Camp Hazen is committed to helping youth develop valuable life skills through outdoor camping experiences. In 2010 a Branford Community Foundation grant of $1,000 helped Camp Hazen provide need-based financial assistance for 12 Branford youth to have a Hazen experience. Branford native Allie Kowolenko, right, has grown up at Camp Hazen YMCA. Allie was a camper for 6 years, a LEA (Counselor-in-Training), and returns in this summer for her second year as staff.


COMMUNITY DINING ROOM
The Community Dining Room has provided hot nutritious food to struggling families for over 25 years. In 2010, the Community Dining Room received a $10,000 grant from the Branford Community Foundation. These dollars were used to provide some of the 47,290 meals distributed that year. This grant support is critical to the well working of all Community Dining Room nutrition efforts including our Dining Room Lunch, Family Dinner, Home Delivery, and Wednesday Take-out Dinner programs.
