The SI Financial Group Foundation, Inc. works to ensure that all children have a place to sleep

Foundation supports Covenant to Care for Children’s Critical Goods program with a $5,000 donation, which will be used to purchase beds to Connecticut’s most in need children.

The SI Financial Group Foundation, Inc., continuing a tradition of generous philanthropy, has donated $5,000 to Covenant to Care for Children’s Critical Goods Program. The Critical Goods Program delivers new and used furniture and clothing to limited-income Connecticut families with children in order to prevent families from separating. This specific donation from the Foundation will be used to provide beds to children in cities and towns across Connecticut.

Since all the beds donated through the Critical Goods Program are purchased brand-new, this donation is especially important in assuring the continued success of the Critical Goods Program. Despite the fact that many requests for bedding and other furniture remain unfilled, generous donations such as this bring the program a step closer to making sure that all Connecticut families with children have the necessary beds, chairs, and dressers.

Covenant to Care for Children is a statewide, non-profit organization that is based in Bloomfield. The organization depends primarily on families, organizations, and communities of faith for the support of all its programs and is extremely thankful to all those who are willing to donate their time or money to support children in need to basic necessities.

Created in 2005 by SI Financial Group, Inc. of Willimantic, the SI Financial Group Foundation, Inc. donates funds to charitable organizations in the Willimantic area and in surrounding towns. The foundation focuses its efforts on scholarships, education, housing, and community growth, among other causes.

Covenant to Care for Children mobilizes and channels caring and faithful people to advocate for, mentor, and provide direct assistance to Connecticut’s children and youth who are abused, neglected or at-risk. For more information or to make a donation, please visit www.covenanttocare.org or call the main office at 860-243-1806.
