TBC Social Action Initiative - Laundry Love of Greater Danbury
TBC has pledged a donation for FY 2025 of $1,200 to Laundry Love of Greater Danbury (in care of First Congregational Church of Ridgefield)! As one of the founding members, TBC's continuous financial support and dedicated volunteers have enabled LLGD to grow and expand their efforts to give the gift of clean clothes and bedding to our neighbors in need. LLGD is stronger because of our collaboration among their member organizations.
Please come join us during one of their upcoming events at White Street Wash. To see our work in action, contact Becky Burdumy!

It is traditional to light a memorial candle at home on the eve of the yahrzeit. You may also find it meaningful while kindling the yahrzeit candle to offer prayers of remembrance or reflect on your loved one’s life. Many also choose this time to make monetary donations in memory of loved ones.
Yahrzeit Memorial Plaques
When remembering loved ones who have passed away, we invite you to commemorate their lives and blessings with a memorial plaque for the TBC wall of remembrance. Ordering information is available here.
