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.

In a town of Warren, Ohio, a dog was thrown out into a dumpster like trash. Judging by the size of the dumpster, the dog couldn’t have ended up there all by himself. The dog was visibly shocked, shaking, and hurt. The discovery raises a lot of worrying questions.
First and foremost, who would dare to do such a thing? Have they no heart? Did the dog even get a chance at having a good life? And most importantly, is the pit bull’s health OK? “It’s very troubling that someone would do that. All they had to do was pick up the phone, call me, call the Trumbull County Dog Pound, call the Welfare League, someone would have been more than happy to take the dog away from them,” said the animal control officer Jason Onatz.
Sanitation workers were able to rescue the pooch.

WARREN, Ohio The Animal Welfare League of Trumbull County and the Warren City Dog Warden are trying to find out who abandoned a dog in a dumpster. Sanitation workers found the dog as they were about to empty the container.
Investigators are looking for surveillance video from the surrounding area. They are pretty confident that the dog didn t jump in the dumpster on her own and was put there.
The dog, now named Phoenix, was taken immediately to get veterinarian care. She has wounds on all four limbs, plus injuries to her head and neck which have become infected. She was not walking normally so her back legs needed to be checked. Phoenix also had damage to her teeth.
