The DiMatteo Group in Shelton and its caring staff of 22 certainly got in the spirit of giving this holiday season.
They pooled their resources and purchased a variety of gifts to help out a local family in need through BHcare in Ansonia.

“Giving back to the community is part of our company’s mission,” said John DiMatteo, President of DiMatteo Group. “We treat others as an extension of our family and are involved in many philanthropic service projects.”

Founded over 55 years ago, DiMatteo Group is a family-owned and operated business specializing in insurance, employee benefits, income tax and financial services.

“Ten years ago we established the DiMatteo Family Charitable Foundation and an annual golf tournament,” DiMatteo said. 

“The foundation was established as a tribute to our late father who was battling cancer at the time. Since then, we have contributed over $300,000 for various well-known local and national charities that fund research, education and finding a cure for diseases.”

“BHcare appreciates the generosity of the DiMatteo Group and all of their employees,” said Tammy Burrell, Chairman of the Holiday Drive and Secretary of the BHcare Board of Directors. “This gesture of kindness will bring joy to a local family and make a tremendous difference in their life. The DiMatteo Group exemplifies the true meaning of the holiday season.”

BHcare is a state-licensed, non-profit behavioral health care provider serving the Lower Naugatuck Valley, Greater New Haven, and Shoreline communities. For more than 30 years, BHcare – through its founding organizations, Birmingham Group Health Services and Harbor Health Services – has been providing hope and help for individuals, families and children affected by mental illness, domestic violence and substance abuse.
