Thank you to our Presenting Sponsor
Join us four times a year in community-wide volunteer events to support service projects and make a difference in the lives of families in New London County. Become a sponsor or a volunteer - or both! Each opportunity has meaningful benefits.
Each Day of Caring project brings together 30-50 volunteers to create a positive impact for nonprofits helping our neighbors in need. Sponsorships provide grants for materials and other project expenses to each agency hosting a project.
United Way focuses on connecting people to causes they care about and helping businesses reach their goals around philanthropic giving, employee engagement and community involvement. If you would like to become a sponsor, please contact Rebecca Reutlinger, Vice President of Resource Development.
The deadline for sponsorship confirmation is November 8, 2025 in order to be included on the tshirts.

SCADD
Whitewash painting of a brick style dormitory along with beautification of the outside perimeter of the building by planting flowers and shrubs. This will increase the positive atmosphere of the client's living area.
East Lyme Giving Garden
Harvesting, planting, weeding, mulching, and composting at the garden. It may also include preparing rows for planting. The East Lyme Giving Garden is an all-volunteer run organization, and these tasks require a lot of human power and contribute significantly to their ability to harvest and distribute food through their partnership with the Gemma E Moran United Way/Labor Food Center.
Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center - Craig Floyd Giving Garden at Coogan Farm
Preparing the garden for the next season's crops, removing invasive plants, and revamping picnic tables around the property. These activities require many hands and will significantly impact the garden's ability to harvest produce that is then distributed through the United Way Mobile Food Pantry.
Madonna Place
Repainting the interior walls of the organization's program spaces in Norwich along with a repainting and redesign of the display window facing Main Street. The display window will clearly communicate to the public Madonna Place's goals and services. The interior repainting will create a more welcoming atmosphere for clients and their families as well as align better with the Madonna Place rebrand, including a new logo and color scheme.
