What's Going On in Windsor: April 3, 2020

While most events continue to be postponed or moved online, there's one great online event starting tomorrow benefiting the whole community: Chamber Cares 2020, Windsor's first online community benefit auction.

The auction benefits some great Windsor non-profits as well as local Covid-19 relief. If your income is stable in this difficult time, you can support your community, kill time while stuck at home, and win some unique items and experiences all at once by participating! We're still adding items, but you can go to https://windsor2020.givesmart.com now to check out what's on offer so far and register. Bidding starts tomorrow at 5:00 p.m.

This year's beneficiaries are the Chamber, the Music School at Sound Crossing, and the Windsor Education Foundation, as well as two nonprofits providing relief to households experiencing a sudden loss of income: the Windsor Food and Fuel Bank and the Neighbors in Need Fund of the United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut.

Below is a sampling of some of the items on offer.
