Enfield, CT, February 15, 2021 – The Enfield Safe Harbor Warming Center was awarded the Elks Spotlight Grant in the amount of $2000.00 in goods for the third year in a row. The goods included to-go containers for hot meals, sweatshirts, sweatpants, gloves, water, juice, hot chocolate, oatmeal, hot cups with lids, napkins, plastic spoons, sugar, creamer, cup a soups, snacks and other misc. items. This will allow us to provide some of the items needed to run our outreach and engagement center for our homeless residents of Enfield, Connecticut during the coldest times of the year.
“We are grateful to the Elks Spotlight Grant for this generous show of support for our mission,” said Rosalind Swift, the Center’s Communications Chair. “Many people assume that homelessness does not exist in our community. It does. Too many of our neighbors live on the streets or under other unsafe conditions. Many others are one missed paycheck away from losing their housing. Our mission this year looks quite different due to Covid-19, but we are here to serve the homeless. The Enfield Safe Harbor Warming Center will be operating two nights per week,64 Pearl Street (St Patrick’s Church) Wednesdays and Sundays, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., during the winter months of January 3, 2021- March 27, 2021 as Outreach and Engagement center to assist our homeless here in Enfield during this Covid-19 pandemic.
About the Elks Spotlight Grant’s Annual Appeal
While Elks serve communities in numerous ways, the Spotlight Grant is an opportunity to focus on two key areas; family literacy and veterans’ homelessness
