New London ― The Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut has announced the awarding of $2.2 million in grants. The assistance addresses inequities in early childhood care and education; youth development and empowerment; access to affordable, safe and inclusive housing; access to high quality and affordable health care; women's and girls' empowerment; and environmental resilience. In particular, demand for programs that address housing and food insecurity continued to increase this year, the foundation said, with a $25,000 grant to the New London Community Meal Center serving as an example.
