Valley United Way extends backpack-buying program deadline

Sharing from the Valley United Way website:

This year, everything is a little different. That includes our return to school program.

Bringing the program back was important to our Corporate Volunteer Council (CVC) members, so we found a way!

We invite you to participate with us in the Prudential Cares pre-filled backpack buying program, which supports the Boys & Girls Club of the Lower Naugatuck Valley directly.

Here is how it will work:

• The items can be purchased online with the Purchase A Backpack button. During ‘checkout’, you can ship directly to the organization by choosing the Boys & Girls Clubs of Lower Naugatuck Valley organization at 1 Positive Place in Shelton.
• The Boys & Girls Club will distribute the backpacks and supplies to students in need as they return to school this year through their programs and in partnership programs at the Valley schools.
• But hurry! This link is only live through August 6th EXTENDED TO AUGUST 16TH!
• The Make A Donation button will remain active after August 6th 16th

Rochelle shares information on hurricane preparedness

State Rep. Kara Rochelle

The long hurricane season began June 1 and is expected to be an active one.

Connecticut has largely been spared from major hurricanes in recent years – for that we are thankful – but residents should always be prepared.

The Atlantic hurricane season ends on Nov. 30 – with mid-August to mid-October the period when Connecticut historically faces threats from hurricanes and tropical storms.

These storms are unpredictable and that's why you should always be prepared and have a plan of action in the event of a serious weather event.

The Connecticut Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security website contains useful resources to help you stay informed, prepare, and stay safe during many emergencies.

Make sure you have an emergency supply kit, an evacuation plan, and a plan to safeguard your home and possessions, so you and your family are safe during hurricane season.

Sharing request from Storm Engine Rescue and Ambulance Corps in Derby

Supplies Request

"We are turning to the public for help with our dwindling supply of PPE and cleaning supplies. It is nearly impossible for us to find supplies anywhere at this point. Our members are out on the front lines protecting our community and we need to be able to protect them and in turn be able to make sure all of our equipment can be cleaned.

"With many nonessential businesses already closed or closing this coming week, we ask that you donate the supplies you may have to your local first responders as they are in dire need of it.

"Some things we are looking for:
N95 Masks
P100 Masks
Surgical Masks
Disposable Gowns
Disposable Coveralls
Safety Glasses
Disinfectant Sprays
Disinfecting Wipes
Hand Sanitizer

"We are located at 151 Olivia St, Derby, CT 06418. Please contact us before stopping by. You can email us at derbystormambulance@gmail.com to let us know what you have and to set up a time to drop off.

"It is not just us in need of supplies. If you do not live in our community and are looking to donate, consider contacting your local Ambulance Services, Fire Departments, or Police Departments."
