And she should know. Her volunteer organization provides direct homebound distribution of nutritious food to approximately 20,000 ill, aged or differently-abled individuals in New Haven. “We’re the only agency in the area offering delivered grocery service to help those in need who don’t have transportation to soup kitchens,” she continues. In 2007, FISH saw an increase in the number of working families calling for assistance. A trend that Royster believes will continue given the dramatic rise in energy costs and today’s tough economic climate. Fortunately, FISH was able to carry out its direct distribution services and cope with the increase in food requests due, in part, to the charitable foresight of a Foundation donor named Anne Hope Bennett, who lived over a half a century ago. The donor was the heiress to the Winchester Repeating Arms Company and known for her community work in New Haven. By bequest, she established an endowed Ensuring that healthy food continues to be delivered to the homebound fund in 1943 to address the prevention and cure of sickness and to support a number of her beloved organizations in Greater New Haven. The fund has generated more than $3.2 million to non-profit organizations and touched the individual lives of countless people in crisis throughout Greater New Haven. Endowed funds benefit the community forever. Your gift and all future earnings from your gift become a permanent source of charitable capital, that helps non-profits today and that is stewarded by The Foundation for the benefit of future generations.
