Our missionTo facilitate a community-wide collaboration so that funds can be raised and assistance provided to organization's involved in human service programs in Southington, Milldale, Marion & Plantsville.
Eight Decades of Caring
On November 15, 1926, fifteen Southington volunteers signed a charter forming the Southington Community Chest. That first year those volunteers raised $7,300 and funded 3 local organizations: Southington Red Cross, Salvation Army and the Public Health Association.
Over the past eight decades, many local organizations received their initial funding from the Southington Community Chest; such as Recreation Park in 1929 and the 1945 allocation to the Hospital Corporation, which later became Bradley Memorial Hospital.
In 1975 the Southington Community Chest changed its name to the United Way of Southington. The organization had a new name but its focus did not change; local volunteers continued to raise money that stayed here in Southington helping people right here at home.
