HARTFORD - State Rep. Linda Gentile, D-Derby, Ansonia, announced today TEAM, Inc. is one of 50 nonprofits that received a grant from the Nonprofit Grant Program.
TEAM's services include Head Start, a program that addresses the needs of children and families in the areas of education, social services, health, nutrition, disabilities, and mental health.
“Although TEAM is based in Derby, it is an organization that helps children, families, and seniors in Ansonia and other communities in the Valley, which means that the entire Valley region will benefit from this grant,” Gentile said.
“This grant will improve the efficiency and the effectiveness of the services this organization offers and I am grateful that even more people will be able to be helped with this funding.”
TEAM used this grant in previous years to acquire two vehicles for the purposes of delivering high-quality Meals on Wheels services to more than 300 senior citizens in need.
The nonprofit grant program, created by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy in 2013, has helped hundreds of organizations across Connecticut with a wide variety of capital improvement projects.
Today’s allocations are the fifth round of grants since the launch of the program.
This is a press release from Gentile's office.
