The spirit of Caring for Bethlehem comes from a long history of people giving time and resources selflessly to build the community of Bethlehem, Connecticut as we know it today.
Supporting Community Needs
Donations are targeted where the greatest needs exist.
Keeping Neighbors Warm
Heating a home is essential for dignified living. Your donation provides for necessary fuel or emergency heating repairs to keep your neighbors warm when they find their wallets empty and the oil tank dry, the electricity shut off, or the furnace not working.
Nearly 60 families have been warmed by your generosity so far this winter.
Supporting Our Students
Education is the path to the future. Your donation to the Bethlehem Scholarship Fund provides financial assistance to Bethlehem’s graduating seniors in need. Applicants must be planning to continue their education, whether in college, nursing, technical or vocational programs.
The amount contributed to the fund each year determines how many scholarships will be available.
Taking a Bite Out of Hunger
The Bethlehem Food Bank provides food to Bethlehem residents in need.
Shelves are stocked through donations of money, nonperishable foods, and fresh seasonal produce from the Bethlehem Community Garden as well as through fundraising events and local food drives.
The volunteer team managing the food bank are committed to providing a range of healthy food options to our most vulnerable families in a manner that respects their privacy and dignity. Your contribution will make a difference in their lives.
Helping in Times of Need
Unexpected expenses can be overwhelming. Your donation to the Bethlehem Assistance Fund provides rapid monetary response for Bethlehem residents who face emergency situations. The car needs repair in order to get to work; the refrigerator stopped; the medical bills are mounting; the insurance payment is due; all these and many more immediate needs are addressed by this fund.

Our invitation is in our name: Chime In!
We engage people in the joy and sense of community that music fosters through participation and performance.

We are passionate about making and sharing music.
