Valentine's Day

For Valentine's Day, we planned a lunch to raise money for DESK (Downtown Evening Soup Kitchen). Local to New Haven, CT, DESK serves people experiencing homelessness or poverty by providing food assistance and services to promote health, community, and equity. We raised $800 towards new renovations to provide comprehensive homelessness services beyond the traditional soup kitchen model.

Our website has been refreshed with a new theme! Comments, questions, or suggestions? Send them on over to feedback@accustandard.com.
