Happy New Year!

I’m thankful for another year working alongside Hall’s amazing team to serve our community—and I hope you have so much to be grateful for this year, too!

In 2024, we’re focused on serving even more of our neighbors—providing more clinic appointments, opening our classrooms to more students, and expanding our senior program.

In addition to our best-in-class childcare and youth programs, Hall Neighborhood House provides important, holistic services for local seniors, supporting their mental and physical health, surrounding them with community, and creating opportunities for FUN. We can’t wait to increase our capacity and open our doors to even more of our senior neighbors who need us.

Your support makes all of this possible. We couldn’t be a one-stop resource for our neighbors without you!

With gratitude,

Bob Dzurenda
Executive Director

 

Spreading Smiles with Dental Cleanings

We’re celebrating National Give Kids a Smile Day on Friday, February 2 with free dental screenings on-site! Local dentists have generously volunteered their time to provide screenings to almost 100 children.

Each child takes home a dental goodie bag, a written assessment, and a referral for next steps. We’re so excited to bring healthier smiles to our children and thankful for the dentists who are making it possible.

These clinics were made possible thanks in part to generous financial support from Bridgeport Hospital and Moneco Advisors.
