LIBERTY BANK FOUNDATION DONATES $3000 TO THE JONAH CENTER FOR EARTH AND ART
2/3/2010
The Jonah Center
is partnering with Middletown’s North End Action Team (NEAT) to
assist eligible families in applying for this cost-saving program.
Free WRAP services are offered to
households with incomes less than 60% of the state median. The services include
weatherizing homes by sealing air leaks, replacing broken windows, adding door
sweeps, and also replacing inefficient appliances such as refrigerators,
air-conditioners, and lighting fixtures at no cost to the residents.
“This program can help
low-income families to conserve both energy and their hard-earned dollars,” said
Sue Murphy, executive director of the Liberty Bank Foundation. “We’re pleased
to assist The Jonah Center in its efforts to acquire funding for such a
worthwhile project.”
Since its inception in
1997, the Liberty Bank Foundation has provided over $5.5 million in grants to
nonprofit organizations within Liberty Bank’s market area. The Foundation seeks
to improve the quality of life for people of low or moderate income by investing
in the areas of preventive programming for children and families, affordable
housing, and non-profit capacity building. In addition, the foundation is
providing support to address basic human needs during these difficult economic
times. Along with its grantmaking, the Foundation strives to foster the
convening and collaboration of nonprofits, funders, business, and government to
address community issues.
The Jonah Center is in the forefront of environmental education and advocacy
efforts in the Greater Middletown area. Collaborating with other organizations,
the Jonah
Center
works to inform residents of what we must do to protect our city’s natural
resources and mobilize citizens, when necessary, to take action to foster
a richer quality of life in our
community.

families, call John Hall at (860) 346-6657, ext.
