October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Domestic violence affects 1 in 4 women and 1 in 10 men in their lifetime. Beyond the immediate personal impact, violence affects workplaces, families, and entire communities. #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth

Did you know non-electronic school supplies are now tax-free all year round in CT?! No need to wait for tax-free week to gather some items for Silas Demary Jr.'s Back to School Bash! Hundreds of kids will be given backpacks full of supplies, but we need more supplies!
