Chrysalis Center announces #DonationCreation2020 will launch on May 1st and is currently seeking teams to sign up. This organization’s month-long food drive, which invites individuals to organize, form teams and collect nonperishable food items for families in need, is relying on the community’s generosity now more than ever as they have an increased need during the COVID-19 crisis.

Donation Creation runs from May 1 through June 1, 2020. This year, due to the pandemic and practicing social distancing, rather than making a "creation" of items collected, as teams have done in the past, the organization is asking for teams to be creative and come up with a team name and collect nonperishable items to benefit Freshplace, located on Chrysalis Center’s main campus, at 255 Homestead Avenue in Hartford. In addition, online donations are also accepted to help the organization purchase food in need.

Halloran Sage attorneys and practice areas have once again been recognized by Chambers USA.

Join the Downtown Hartford YMCA, Hartford Yard Goats, and Rotary Club of Hartford on Monday, May 4 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for our food drive to benefit Hands on Hartford.

Despite working from home, teaching online, and social distancing, nine faculty seized the opportunity to respond and help rather than sit, watch, and wait.

Region’s business community, existing Hartford Foundation donors and contributions from new donors have now added more than $3 million to the fund to rapidly deploy resources to support the residents who are most significantly affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
