Projects

Newtown families in need are provided holiday fixings along with additional groceries to last them through the holidays. Items are collected and divided for the families to pick up. 

  WIN supports the Faith Food Pantry and Nunnawauk Meadows by adopting 2 rows (select, plant, cultivate and harvest their crops) and donating all the produce. 

  WIN members assemble Easter baskets filled with candy, stuffed animals and goodies. These baskets are distributed to children in need. 

 Each year WIN provides a scholarship through the Newtown Scholarship Fund to a deserving female High School student who has excelled in community service. 

 WIN hosts a booth at the Lion's Pootatuck Duck Race each Memorial Day Weekend. We provide information about our organization and sell items as a fundraiser.

    WIN sponsors a Newtown family in need each holiday season. Items are bought and wrapped by members and delivered  in time for the holidays. 

 WIN supports our Regional Hospice Chapter by purchasing a table and attending their annual appreciation breakfast for the volunteers, caregivers and support services. 

  WIN is asked to donate a decorated tree each winter to be auctioned off to benefit Newtown Youth & Family Services.   

WIN helps support our local Faith Food Pantry by providing baskets for donations at local businesses and by collecting donations at our monthly meetings.  

   WIN members provide individually wrapped baked goods for distribution at the Red Cross Blood Drives sponsored by the Newtown Lions Club.  

   WIN selects groups and families in need to send donations.  For example, each year we carve and donate pumpkins and funds to the Great Pumpkin Challenge.  

 WIN helps collect formal wear, during prom season, for children in need and new toys throughout the year for Norwalk Hospital pediatric unit.
