On Tuesday, April 21st, I attended Non-Profit Day at the Capitol, where I had the opportunity to connect with organizations making a real difference in our communities.
It was great to visit with Enfield Loaves and Fishes, a local food pantry doing important work to support families in need. I also had a meaningful conversation with Coordinator Maya Matthews about the challenges they face and the impact they continue to make in Enfield.
Grateful for all the nonprofits across our state working every day to serve others.
Great having the Girl Scouts of Granby join us on Senator Kissel and Friends! 🍀
A big thank you to Troop Leader Samantha Warner and Troop 66050 for coming on the show and sharing your experiences, leadership, and community spirit. It’s always inspiring to see the next generation stepping up and making a difference right in Granby!
