Support Local

Happy Holidays Neighbors. Something to think about this holiday season: We all have friends and family who own local businesses in and around Branford, so supporting their businesses this holiday season will support our local communities.

Also, please consider supporting some local 501c3 nonprofits in Branford, as they need financial and volunteer help, too.Many Branford residents know of the larger, well-known local nonprofits, but there are many other important ones too: Branford Compassion Club, Branford Food Pantry, Orchard House Medical Adult Day Center, Branford Community Television, Branford Historical Society, Branford Garden Club, among others. A larger list can be found at www.branford-ct.gov/community.

Philanthropy is not just writing a check - you can volunteer your skills and abilities, too!
