Charter Oak Federal Credit Union has donated $32,000 in additional emergency food assistance to eastern Connecticut’s food pantries and food centers to help those in need during the continuing COVID-19 health crisis.
Since this past April, Charter Oak has donated a total of $139,000 in emergency grants to food centers and food pantries that serve New London and Windham counties.
“The effects of COVID-19 are still impacting our region, especially for those who face food insecurity issues, and it’s our hope that this additional $32,000 will go a long way in restocking supplies for those most in need during this pandemic,” Brian A.

Stonington With many older residents now scheduling their first or second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, the Pawcatuck Neighborhood Center has announced it will use its handicapped-accessible bus to drive people to get their shot.
Center Executive Director Susan Sedensky said Wednesday that residents of Stonington, North Stonington and Westerly simply have to call the PNC at (860) 599-3285 to schedule a ride. The bus will pick them up at their home, drive them to the vaccine location, wait for them to get the shot and then drive them home.
She said just one or two people are allowed on the bus at any one time to ensure social distancing. The bus is available weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
