Grow vegetables in CT and save money

Anyone who grocery shops on a regular basis has likely noticed a higher tally at the checkout counter. The latest consumer pricing analysis from the USDA is predicting a 1.3 percent increase in food prices. While we can’t do much to lower the prices, one thing we can do is grow some of our own vegetables and herbs. The investment in a small 100 square foot or so garden is not large, and one can be assured of healthy, high quality fresh produce. Vegetable gardeners can also control what, if any, types of pesticides are used on the plants.

How to find out if you have unclaimed money – NBC Connecticut

Money that belongs to you might have been turned over to the state. You can find out by searching a website or making a phone call. Why does this happen?

Community members raise money for ‘The Village for Families and Children’ programs – NBC Connecticut

Community members took a lunch break Friday to support one of the largest providers of mental health services in the state. The Village for Families and Children helps more than 10,000 kids and adults every year in the Greater Hartford area. More than half of those they serve are girls and young women, which is why Friday’s fundraiser at the Hartford Convention Center was called the “Girl Within Event.” Every donation makes a difference because before the pandemic, the nonprofit served clients in eight towns and today, they’re helping people in almost 60. “We do it through intervention with programs like residential, outpatient, services, school days, anything that makes the life of people better we will do,” said Galo Rodriguez, The Village for Families and Children...

How will settlement money be used to address the opioid crisis? – NBC Connecticut

About 1,300 people die a year in Connecticut as a result of opioids. That's more than 100 people every single month.

Heather Somers: Well, right now that's coming through the Attorney General's Office, and it will go to a committee, which is made up of law enforcement, municipal leaders, people in the industry t...
