Adopt-A-Classroom – 2026

We are pleased to share that our recent donations to classrooms in Trumbull and Bridgeport are helping support teachers and enhance student learning. The teachers we contributed to received supplies and materials that will enrich their classrooms and strengthen literacy programs.

By providing reading resources that build foundational skills, encourage critical thinking, and inspire thoughtful writing, these donations are creating a meaningful impact for students. Thanks to the generous matching contributions from Sonic Industries through DonorsChoose, we were able to fund additional projects for the three teachers we initially selected.

The teachers have shared their appreciation on the DonorsChoose website, and we are proud to support initiatives that foster both teaching excellence and student success.

We look forward to partnering with them again in the future.

MLC provides free literacy and life skills education to low-income women, many of whom are mothers who face diaper insecurity, often coming weekly for diaper disbursements. Not having to worry about the cost of buying diapers helps them focus on studying in order to become economically self-sufficient. Both Laurie and Fiona were thrilled with the donation and thanked everyone in the club for both the donation and TCW’s continued support. They also said that the women at MLC are incredibly grateful for the diapers and wipes.

Trumbull Nature Center & TCW Collaboration

On a bright and sunny Saturday morning (February 28), TCW members hosted an engaging, hands-on lesson about pine trees and pine cones at the Trumbull Nature Center. Sixteen children and twenty adults joined us for a fun and educational experience focused on nature, creativity, and community.

After learning about the important role pine trees play in our ecosystem, the children participated in a planting project, personalizing their pots with charming gnomes and decorative mushrooms. They also created simple bird feeders by coating pine cones in Crisco and rolling them in birdseed—perfect to hang in their yards and help support local birds.

It was a wonderful morning of learning, laughter, and connection with nature!

Valentine’s Day 2026 – Recognition

On February 12th, two of our members spread some Valentine’s Day love and recognition in the community.

They delivered tote bags filled with goodies for the hardworking staff, along with bags of food and treats for the animals — sharing appreciation for both the people and the pets they serve.

Next, they visited the THRIVE – Cooperative Wellness Center to celebrate the organization’s commitment to wellness. Guided by their inspiring tagline, “The Power of We,” THRIVE provides meaningful support to cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers.

The Center currently serves over 500 women and nearly 60 children in its Early Childhood Education Center. Many of the women come to MLC to learn English so they can support their children in school and often continue on to earn diplomas and pursue further education.

Thanks to everyone’s generosity, we collected approximately 480 items valued at $900! These donations will help give MLC’s dedicated learners and their children the tools they need to start the school year strong. Mercy Learning Center was deeply appreciative of our continued support and the kindness of our community. Thank you to everyone who contributed!

The cash was used to purchase sixteen $25 Stop & Shop gift cards, bringing the total value of our donation to an impressive $3,900! The donations were delivered to the Mercy Learning Center on Monday, October 6th.

A heartfelt thank-you to our amazing volunteers—and to the generous community members who donated! Your kindness and support made this food drive a great success and continue to make a real difference in the lives of others.

Christine, Trumbull Library Children’s Librarian, read “Chooch Helped” by Andera L. Rogers aloud as we went through the story walk. Then the kids let their imagination run wild as they painted rocks which will subsequently be put along the Story Walk. One lucky child won a copy of the book, which TCW donated, as a door prize.
