WOW! What a turnout.

Since our flyer went out, Matt’s Homestead has already raised $46,000 and donations are still coming in.

This year, we have already helped over 500 individuals in recovery across Connecticut, more than doubling our impact. And on Saturday, we more than doubled our event turnout with 275+ people joining us for the Matt’s Homestead Picnic.

Co****le. Raffles. Music. Community. Recovery. Family. Hope.

A huge thank you to Longobardi’s Wood Fired Apizza Truck for making over 134+ pizzas and feeding the crowd, and to every volunteer, donor, sponsor, and attendee who made this day possible.

Matthew’s legacy continues because this community keeps showing up.

Thank you for helping us make this our biggest year yet. We cannot wait to put all of this back into our community and reach more programs then ever before. If you work for a program or are in need shoot us a DM!
