Southbury Needy Fund, Inc. d/b/a Southbury Helping Hands

While best known for its coordination of the Annual Holiday Gift Program, Southbury Helping Hands also provides financial assistance to families year-round.  In 2025, $23,000 of our budget was spent on utility bills, insurance, rent/mortgage, car repairs, appliance replacement, and other emergency household repairs for Southbury residents facing extraordinary financial hardship. In July & August, $5,000 went toward new back-to-school shoes for 98 children, the majority of which were enrolled in middle school or high school. Throughout the year we purchased bundles of gas cards for the Southbury Department of Social Services and local churches to distribute to residents in need.

Please consider a gift to Southbury Helping Hands during Give Local (April 21-22) to help a neighbor in need. Your donation will be stretched further with bonus funds, thanks to generous sponsors and the Connecticut Community Foundation - making the impact of your giving even bigger!
