The Unitarian-Universalist Church of Norwich has donated $30,000 to Norwich Human Services.
The two-part gift has been “earmarked to help people who fell between the cracks...who had emergency or desperate needs that could not be met through standard forms of assistance,” church spokesperson Wayne Silver stated in a December email.
A donation of $15,000 was made during the summer; another $15,000 contribution was made in November.
“We were just blown away because I know what a small group of people they are and I think it’s such a huge amount to give us to help Norwich residents. I was just really, really impressed,” said Norwich Human Services Director Lee-Ann Gomes during a telephone interview.
