Russell and Dawson Inc. supports Community Renewal Team, Inc. Anti-poverty Mission to back the continued capacity of service to people in Central Connecticut

Russell and Dawson Inc. seldom miss an opportunity to carry out the noble acts of helping people. In addition to the corporate partnership, we take immense pride to partner with Community Renewal Team, Inc. to donate 25,000 K95 face masks, and 10,000 individual bottles of hand sanitizer, providing safety assurances to the staff and clients involved in any of the services that are available through CRT’s broad range of programs. For several years, Russell and Dawson Inc. has partnered with CRT to support the agency’s needs for architecture design, engineering, and construction.

We have overcome fear with facts before. We can do it again with some basic safety measures. As of March 23, 2022, an average of 303 cases per day were reported in Connecticut last week. Since the beginning of the pandemic, at least 1 in 5 residents have been infected with a total of 732,932 reported cases. We believe that when you wear a mask; you protect yourself; you protect others; you prevent yourself from touching your face. With coronavirus cases still rising, wearing a mask is more important than ever.
