Good Neighbor Fund can help with financial crunch of COVID-19 crisis

May 6, 2020  | By Peter Plagge

To the good people of Waterbury:

The Waterbury Good Neighbor Fund exists to serve you.

Due to the extraordinary generosity of this community, we have an ample fund ready and waiting to help those of you facing financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 shutdown. 

If you have bills or rent coming due that you cannot pay because you've been out of work or sick, please don't wait until it's too late – email me at peter@waterburyucc.com or call me at 244-6606. 

All needs and concerns are kept confidential within a group of three people who meet twice weekly during this crisis to review requests. We make no guarantee that we can meet all of your needs, only that we can meet some of them. 

There is no paperwork required (other than copies of bills) and no financial requirement other than your need for help. There is also no requirement for payback. 

Let's keep on being good neighbors to and for each other.  We have the money to help you.

Peter Plagge
