Grace Farms Foundation is confronting some of the most pressing humanitarian issues of our time, many of which have become more acute since the COVID-19 crisis. Launched in March 2020 for direct personal protective equipment (PPE) donations and food relief, the Relief Fund for Connecticut is filling gaps through collaboration and a network of partnerships.
2 M
PPE, including N95 masks, surgical and disposable masks, coveralls, face shields, gloves, caps and goggles distributed to healthcare heroes, first responders, and essential workers.
265 K
pounds of healthy meals and pantry staples provided to those in need, increasing food security for our state's most vulnerable, including those experiencing homelessness, and elderly, refugee, and migrant populations.
64
Connecticut partner organizations engaged in the Relief Fund for Connecticut, including 12 partner agencies for food relief, and 52 partners in 24 towns across the state for PPE relief efforts.
“I can’t stress enough the importance of this shipment to our members. Many have died and will die for lack of PPE. It is heartening to know that there are people and organizations who understand the stakes and act accordingly.”
Stephen Magro, PPE recipient
