The Arc Eastern Connecticut Receives Grant from Eastern Connecticut Savings Bank Foundation for Critical Boiler Repair

The Arc Eastern Connecticut is pleased to announce a generous grant from the Eastern Connecticut Savings Bank Foundation to support urgent heating system repairs at its Cook Hill Road facility in Danielson. This crucial funding will help ensure continued safe, comfortable, and energy-efficient operations for the participants and staff who rely on this busy center every day. 

Serving as the primary hub for day programs, senior services, and transportation for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in northeastern Connecticut, the Cook Hill Road facility is an essential part of The Arc ECT’s operations. The existing boiler system had begun to fail, causing inconsistent heating, reduced energy efficiency, and posing a risk of costly water damage and disruptive breakdowns. 

With the support of the grant from the Eastern Connecticut Savings Bank Foundation, The Arc ECT will be able to replace worn-out components, flush and treat the system to prevent corrosion, and restore reliable, energy-efficient heating to the building. 

“We are deeply grateful for the Eastern Connecticut Savings Bank Foundation’s support,” said Kathleen Stauffer, CEO of The Arc Eastern Connecticut. “This grant allows us to safeguard our services and provide a safe, healthy environment for the people we serve and our employees. That always is our priority.”
