Be the Reason a Student Smiles on the First Day of School

—Help Local Students Start the School Year Strong—

As families across eastern Connecticut prepare for the new school year, Catholic Charities Diocese of Norwich is calling on the community to help ensure that every child starts the year with the tools they need to succeed.

Each of our four offices—in Middletown, New London, Norwich, and Willimantic—is now accepting donations of backpacks and essential school supplies. Your generous contributions will directly support children in need in our local communities.

Whether it’s a pack of crayons, a notebook, or a brand-new backpack, every item makes a difference.

Drop-off Locations:

  • 28 Huntington Street, New London
  • 331 Main Street, Norwich
  • 16 Stack Street, Middletown
  • 88 Jackson Street, Willimantic

For more information, please call 860-889-8346.

Together, let’s give every child a reason to smile on the first day of school.
