December 14th is a day no one in Connecticut will forget. Thoughts and prayers go to every victim, student, faculty member, citizen of Newtown/Sandy Hook, first responder and law enforcement personnel.

The Connecticut State Grange has established the 'Sandy Hook Angels Fund' through its foundation to help the families of the victims and students during the most troubling time in their lives.

Connecticut State Grange President Jody Cameron explains why the Grange has pledged to help make a difference. "By establishing the Sandy Hook Angels Fund, the Connecticut State Grange hopes to enable healing in this community by ensuring the services they need are available to them," he said. "The community of Newtown has experienced the most horrific of events anyone could."

100% of the donations will be forwarded to the Newtown Youth and Family Services and the Newtown Parent Connection. The Connecticut State Grange Foundation is a 501c3 charitable organization. Donations are tax deductible.
