OXFORD– Following the August floods in Oxford, Goodwill of Western and Northern Connecticut (GWNC) rallied its team to support victims of the disaster. GWNC’s involvement began at Quarry Walk with boots-on-the-ground support in the days following the flood, handing out food and water, cleaning items, and distributing Goodwill gift cards.
Alongside Team Inc. and the American Red Cross, GWNC served as a support system for Oxford residents navigating a monumental disruption. This cycle of support for the Oxford community has now culminated in a donation of more than $13,000 through GWNC’s Round Up campaign.
