“We are heartbroken by the devastating collapse of the Engaging Heaven Church. This building is one of the oldest and most beautiful pieces of architecture New London has to offer, and the damage is felt throughout the community.

But we are even more inspired by the efforts of our amazing first responders, local officials, Governor Ned Lamont, and our community as whole, whose efforts have kept the residents of New London safe.

We are grateful there were no injuries, and are certain that together, this amazing city will emerge stronger than ever.

At this time, we advise residents to adhere to local guidance. We will stay in touch with more information as it arises."

It is extremely important for us to provide funding for school children to eat breakfast and lunch. We are not just filling their stomachs, but also their potential. Let's ensure every child has the nourishment they need to concentrate on learning, not on hunger pains.
