The ACCESS Agency, Inc
Windham Area Women & Girls Fund Supports Access Emergency Shelter
The Access Community Action Agency was recently awarded $1,000 by the Windham Area Women & Girls Fund of the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut. These funds will be used to create an employment and education computer lab at the Access Community Action Agency's Emergency Shelter in Danielson, which provides temporary shelter to over 200 individuals and 80 families each year. Of those families, approximately 80% are headed by single mothers, who will benefit by having on-site access to a computer to work on their employment, educational, and housing goals while being able to ensure their children are cared for. Access is pleased to be one of eight organizations who received funding from the "compassionate, generous women throughout Windham County" who provide their financial support to the Windham Area Women & Girls Fund, and heartily supports the work of the Fund's steering committee as well as the work of the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut.
How does Access' work impact the community?
In these difficult economic times, the Access Community Action Agency is proud to help individuals and families in our community navigate life challenges such as unemployment, emergency health issues, rising fuel costs, and more by providing them with resources that help stretch their household budgets and keep them sheltered, warm, and fed.
