“I feel so privileged to have been introduced to Main Street Community Foundation,” Noreen stated. “Community Foundations know the assets and needs of the community and they are instrumental in bringing those two things together.” Main Street Community Foundation can help.

These communication nuances and unpredictability can be difficult for children with autism, often causing anxiety that 20

A $350 grant from the Sid Bernard and Ed Miller Children’s Fund for the Visual Arts was awarded to Imagine Nation, A Museum Early Learning Center for supplies for the art studio. Here, children practiced their fine motor skills as they used their three point grip to maneuver their pencils around the paper. They drew the giraffe using lines and shapes, and continued with their fine tip marker to add the patterns and make their lines more prominent. The children had different view points of the giraffe, and were able to discuss how their perspectives influenced their drawings.

Meet George. George was injured and abandoned in a Plainville park in March 2017 and was found by the town’s animal control ofďŹ cer. He soon received orthopedic surgery from a specialist through the Connecticut Humane Society (CHS) and will continue getting follow-up veterinary care. George was able to get help because of a grant from the Elizabeth I. and Louis J. Matt Animal Protection Fund at Main Street Community Foundation. The grant helped pets from local municipal animal control facilities get medical treatment through CHS’ veterinary department.
