Creativity, connection, and plenty of smiles filled the day at New Heights this Saturday!

Participants spent time expressing themselves through art, building friendships, and enjoying a fun-filled day together. Activities like these provide opportunities to explore creativity, develop new skills, and strengthen social connections in a supportive and welcoming environment.

At New Heights, every moment is an opportunity to learn, grow, and celebrate each person's unique talents and abilities.

The New Heights and Community Support Program teams recently gathered to celebrate a special milestone for one of our own.

Congratulations to Jillian, who recently graduated from Sacred Heart University with her Master of Social Work degree!

While currently serving individuals and families through our Community Support Program, Jillian also recently completed her internship at New Outlook. Her dedication, compassion, and commitment to helping others have made a meaningful impact across both programs.

We are proud of all that Jillian has accomplished and grateful for the care and professionalism she brings to her work each day.

Please join us in congratulating Jillian on this well-deserved achievement and wishing her continued success as she continues her journey in the social work profession!

We are grateful to Brian Berkson and the Savings Bank of Danbury Foundation, Ives Bank, for their generous support of Catholic Charities' Family Loan Program in Danbury.

For many individuals and families, unexpected expenses or limited access to affordable credit can create significant challenges. The Family Loan Program helps address these barriers by providing small, low-interest loans that support critical needs while helping participants build credit and work toward long-term financial stability.

Partnerships like this play an important role in strengthening our community and creating opportunities for families to move forward with confidence.

Thank you to Ives Bank for investing in the people of Greater Danbury and helping us provide hope, opportunity, and support to those we serve.

Thank you to St. Mary School, Bethel for supporting our Morning Glory Home Essentials Program through their Lenten Drive.

Thanks to the generosity of the students, families, and faculty, our clients will receive essential household and personal care items that are not covered by SNAP benefits, including cleaning supplies, paper goods, and hygiene products.

These everyday necessities make a meaningful difference for the individuals and families we serve, helping bring dignity, comfort, and stability to our neighbors in need. We are so grateful for your compassion and support.
