It is not too late to make a meaningful difference for Newtown residents in need this holiday season.

As the cost of living continues to rise, an increasing number of local families are turning to The Newtown Fund for assistance with Christmas gifts, groceries, and home heating. Serving as a vital safety net in the community, The Newtown Fund helps residents by providing support for food, fuel assistance, utility bills, rent, and medical expenses throughout the year.

The Fund is seeking financial contributions to purchase grocery gift cards and provide crucial fuel assistance to households facing hardship. Every donation — no matter the amount — goes directly toward supporting Newtown neighbors who rely on this community resource during challenging times.

The Newtown Fund is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) organization and therefore, all donations to The Newtown Fund are tax deductible.

Contributions can be mailed to The Newtown Fund, PO Box 641, Newtown CT 06470, or donate securely online at thenewtownfund.org.
