| Description Program Srvc Accom | THE NEW AMERICAN DREAM FOUNDATION, INC (TNADF) HAVE SINCE 2014 PRESENTED THE AMERICAN DREAM AWARDS TO 20 STUDENTS OF THE YEAR, 5 PERSONS OF THE YEAR, 5 VETERANS OF THE YEAR, AND 2 NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. THAT REPRESENTS A TOTAL OF $66,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS AND FINANCIAL INCENTIVES THAT WAS ONLY POSSIBLE TO BE ACHIEVED WITH THE CONTINUOUS COMMITMENT AND SUPPORT OF EACH ONE OF OUR SPONSORS/DONORS. THE AMERICAN DREAM AWARDS GALA, WHICH IS THE MAIN FUND RAISING FOR THE FOUNDATION, ALSO RAISES FUNDS TO BENEFIT THE WESTERN CONNECTICUT HEALTH NETWORK/NUVANCE (DANBURY HOSPITAL). FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS, TNADF HAS WORKED WITH LOCAL VENUES TO KEEP FOOD COST DOWN SO IT COULD GIVE MORE TO THE HOSPITAL TO HELP SUBSIDIZE PART OF THE COST OF MISSION HEALTH DAY-A DAY OF WELLNESS PROVIDED BY A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN DANBURY HOSPITAL AND WESTERN CT STATE UNIVERSITY TO OFFER FREE HEALTH CARE TREATMENT TO THE LOCAL UNDER AND UNINSURED POPULATION. SO FAR, THE EVENT HAS RAISED $74,800 JUST FOR THE HOSPITAL. TNADF HAS DONATED $11,250 TO WESTERN CONNECTICUT REGIONAL ADULT AND CONTINUING EDUCATION (WERACE), A REGIONAL PROGAM THAT PROVIDES FREE STATE MANDATED ADULT EDUCATION SERVICES TO ADULTS 17 YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER TO STRENGTHEN WERACE'S CAPACITY TO SERVE MORE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY, BY PROVIDING FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO OFFSET THE COSTS OF THEIR ESL INSTRUCTION AND CITIZENSHIP CLASSES. BETWEEN SCHOLARSHIPS, FINANCIAL INCENTIVES, WERACE'S AND THE HOSPITAL FUNDS, TNADF HAS DONATED $152,050 SINCE THE ENENT'S INCEPTION. CONSIDERING THE IMPACT, THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAS HAD ON FAMILIES IN THE DANBURY AREA, IN APRIL OF 2020, THE NEW AMERICAN DREAM FOUNDATION (TNADF) POSTPONED ITS ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP GALA. TNADF PLACED ALL ITS EFFORTS ON SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY'S IMMEDIATE NEEDS AS WE FIGHT THE VIRUS THROUGH THE CREATION OF ITS TNADF COVID-19 HOT MEAL PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM HAS SERVED CHILDREN AND FAMILIES NEARLY 8,000 MEALS OVER THE SPRING/SUMMBER OF 2020 AND AN ADDITIONAL 9,000 TO SENIOR'S SUMMER/FALL/WINTER 2020 MEALS PURCHASED AT COST FROM THE AMBER ROOM COLONNADE, THE OFFICIAL VENUE FOR ITS ANNAL GALA, A TOTAL OF OVER 17,000 MEALS AT THE CLOSING OF THE YEAR. AS THE FOUNDATION SHIFTED THE FOCUS OF THE MEAL'S PROGRAM TO SUPPORT OLDER ADULTS AND SPECIAL NEEDS ADULTS LIVING IN THE DANBURY AREA IT BEGAN PROVIDING 500 MEALS DURING THE SUMMER, INCREASING TO 650 MONTHLY MEAL DELIVERIES BY THE FALL. TNADF RAISED OVER $100,000 THROUGH SMALL ONLINE CONTRIBUTIONS FROM INDIVIDUALS AND GRANTS FROM LOCAL AND GLOBAL CORPORATIONS AND FOUNDATIONS SUCH AS ROBYDODD FAMILY CHARITABLE FOUNDATION INC, UNION SAVINGS BANK, SAVINGS BANK OF DANBURY, THE UNITED WAY OF WESTERN CT, TUFTS HEALTH PLAN FOUNDATION, AND OF THE CT HEALTH FOUNDATION. IN DANBURY, 10.9 PERCENT OF OLDER ADULTS ARE FOOD INSECURE, A UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT REPORT HAS FOUND. ACCORDING TO THE UNITED WAY, IN PARTS OF THE CITY, FOOD INSECURITY AMOUNG OLDER ADULTS IS AS HIGH AS 30 PERCENT, WHICH BELIEVES THESE FIGURES LIKELY DUE TO THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC. THERE ARE A VARIETY OF FOOD PANTRIES PROVIDING GROCERIES IN THE AREA. STILL, TNADF HAS OBSERVED THAT THE DEMAND FOR READY-TO-EAT MEALS FOR THE SENIOR POPULATION IS MUCH HIGHER THAN FOR GROCERIES. LACK OF MOTIVATION DUE TO MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, LONELINESS, OR PHYSICAL ABILITY TO PREPARE A MEAL FROM SCRATCH ARE SOME OF THEIR CHALLENGES. ALSO, TO QUALIFY FOR MEALS-ON-WHEELS DURING THE PANDEMIC IS INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT DUE TO HIGH DEMAND. TNADF'S HOT MEAL PROGRAM HAS BRIDGED THAT GAP BETWEEN HOMEBOUND SENIORS SERVED BY MEALS-ON-WHEELS AND THOSE WHO CAN PREPARE THEIR MEALS AND FIND RELIEF IN RECEIVING GROCERIES. ON DECEMBER 31, 2020, STATE FUNDING WAS CUT FOR LOCAL SENIOR CENTER'S CONGREGATE MEALS PROGRMS TO FOCUS ON HOMBOUND SENIORS. DURING THE PANDEMIC, CONGREGATE MEALS PROGRAMS AT OR LOCAL SENIOR CENTERS WERE CONVERTED INTO GRAB-AND -GO OR HOME DELIVEY MEALS FOR SAFETY REASONS. THEREFORE, SENIORS WHO ARE NOT HOMEBOUND BUT FOR VARIOUS REASONS ARE UNABLE TO PREPARE THEIR MEALS AND DO NOT QUALITY FOR MEALS-ON-WHEELS WOULD HAVE ACCESS TO HEALTHY, FRESH MEALS. UNFORTUNATELY, WITH THE STATE CUTS, 52 SENIORS IN DANBURY AND BETHEL WERE LEFT WITHOUT SUPPORTS. TNADF IS CURRENTLY SUPPORTING THE DANBURY SENIOR CENTER AND THE BETHEL SENIOR CENTER WITH EMERGENCY MEALS DUE TO THE ABOVE-MENTIONED STATE CUTS. AS THE CORONAVIRUS PANADEMIC CONTINUES TO IMPACT CONNECTICUT, MANY OLDER RESIDENTS AROUND THE STATE ARE FEELING SCARED, CONFUSED, AND ISOLATED. TNADF HOT MEALS PROGRAM PROVIDES HOPE, A WARM MEAL, AND SAFE HUMAN CONTACT TO THE MOST VULNERABLE SENIORS IN OUR COMMUNITY. AT THE FISCAL YEAR-END ON DECEMBER 31, TNADF HAS SERVICED OVER 17,000 MEALS TO CHILDREN, FAMILIES, AND SENIORS. | DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt |
