The Southbury Needy Fund, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, operates on a year-round basis helping Southbury residents when there are no other resources available. Since our inception, we have helped neighbors make ends meet during the holidays: providing clothing, books, and toys for children who would otherwise go without. Throughout the year we also provide emergency financial assistance to families and individuals faced with utility shut-offs, unexpected medical or insurance bills, home repairs, and housing expenses. In addition, the Fund helps community children participate in school-sponsored trips, after-school care, and summer programs.
ALL of our work is done by volunteers -- both our year-round staff and our enthusiastic community helpers who make our Christmas drive a success every year.
