Holiday Programs

Thank You Amazon!

Thank you to Amazon for the very generous donation to the Orange Community Assistance fund. The fund services Orange residents in need with home heating, groceries, and our annual holiday programs. 

Orange Community Assistance Programs 
 Need Your Help!

As the holiday season approaches, Community Services will be busy making and accepting food baskets for our families and residents in need.  We look to the community to sponsor the food baskets. We also have an Adopt a Family Program, which we look for sponsors to do gift giving for children, families and residents that have been identified as being in need.  We can also use grocery gift cards to distribute and monetary donations are appreciated too.  If you are able, please consider donating non perishable food items to our Food Bank. In addition, we have a Fuel Bank for residents who need help with fuel that is maintained only by funds donated by the community.   We all know how costly it is to heat our homes in the winter. As a matter of fact, all of the Community Assistance Programs are sustained solely by donations and the generosity of our community. So please support our programs and help our Orange neighbors in need.  Please let us know if you wish to be a sponsor or give a donation, just give us a call at Community Services 203-891-4788, or stop by our office in the High Plains Community Center located at 525 Orange Center Road, Orange.

Thank you
