The year’s achievements were highlighted in a brief overview by Juanita James, President and CEO, Fairfield County’s Community Foundation.

During her presentation, Ms. A crowd of enthusiastic Fairfield County’s Community Foundation donors came together this month for a special luncheon held at the Roger Sherman Inn in New Canaan, CT to honor its donors and celebrate the past year’s activities and learn more about the organization’s direction moving forward to close the opportunity gap.

Another bright spot for the Community Foundation is the Family Economic Security Program, now in its fourth year, in partnership with Housatonic Community College.
