Today, 25 years later, we remember...

The first responders who ran in when everyone else was running out. The ones who didn't make it home, and the ones who carried what they saw for the rest of their lives. We remember the families who lost loved ones.

But most importantly, let's remember how we showed up for each other in the days, weeks, and months that followed. Kindness and compassion led the way with strangers helping strangers, no hesitation - a reminder of who we can be.

Shine Bright Against Cancer Color Run/Walk

Our Saturday sponsor posts will highlight our in-kind supporters. Those who quietly step up behind the scenes to ensure the magic happens. Changing Lives Foundation and the Shine Bright Against Cancer Run/Walk continue to thrive because of the commitment and work of Ledger Lady Bookkeeping.

That steady, behind-the-scenes support is the heart of what we do, helping us gather each year to celebrate, remember, and stand with those affected by cancer. Thank you, Christie, for giving your time and talent to a cause that means so much!

The New London Strong flood support t-shirt fundraiser officially wrapped up with a check presentation of, $16,993!

Thank you to everyone who purchased a shirt, donated, shared a post, or helped spread the word.

💛💙 New London Flood Relief Fund Update💙💛

The generosity of our community continues to amaze us. Thanks to an incredible collaboration between Ledger Lady Bookkeeping, Bastian Marketing, Changing Lives Foundation, Macaport, LLC, Deerbrook Transfers & Gifts LLC, Office Outfitters, and K & Company, along with everyone who purchased a fundraising T-shirt, $16,993 has been added to the New London Flood Relief Fund.

Because of the overwhelming support from individuals, businesses, organizations, and community fundraisers, the Flood Relief Fund has now grown to more than $360,000 that will be reinvested directly into helping New London families, businesses, and nonprofits recover.

We also wanted to share a progress update. Our volunteer Flood Relief Advisory Committee meets every other week to review applications and move through each phase of the process. The good news is we are nearly ready to move into Phase 5. We appreciate everyone's patience as we work to ensure the funds entrusted to us are distributed fairly, responsibly, and where they can make the greatest impact.

If you'd like to follow our progress, view the application process and the current phases on our website under Resources at www.newlondonchamber.com. The weekly Local Loop also gives regular updates.

Please remember that the Flood Relief Fund is just one of several recovery resources available.

If you or someone you know still needs assistance, we encourage you to explore all available options. FEMA's Disaster Recovery Center is open at the New London Public Museum Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. There are also additional local, state, and nonprofit resources available to help those impacted.

Recovery is a marathon, not a sprint, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who has donated, volunteered, organized fundraisers, or simply supported a neighbor. Every act of generosity is helping move New London forward together. ❤️
