St. John’s Church donates $6,000 to New Hartford’s Neighbor to Neighbor initiative

From Hartford CT-

Proceeds from a charity auction hosted by St. John’s Episcopal Church during Sept. will provide $6,000 for emergency relief to New Hartford-area residents through the “Neighbor to Neighbor” initiative.

Neighbor to Neighbor is a community assistance fund developed to provide financial assistance for residents of New Hartford who may need some help. Several community agencies and local churches have come together to pool resources that can be used to provide temporary relief for those in need.

Examples of assistance provided are payment of utility bills, payment for oil, or payment for medical expenses. Assistance is available once a year.

“These are challenging economic times for many people,” says The Rev. Salin Low, Rector of St. John’s. “We are pleased to be able to support this community initiative and are grateful to our members and friends whose generosity helped make it possible.”
