Touch-a-Life
The “Touch-a-Life” fund is in place to assist Darien residents with urgent financial needs. In cooperation with the Department of Human Services, The Community Fund of Darien will pay essential bills for Darien residents in need (up to $500 per emergency/client). Payments are made directly to the vendor on behalf of the client.
For residents in need of assistance, please contact the Darien Department of Human Services.

This year we were able to:
- Pay the rent for a senior who lost their job as well as a single mother who was temporarily unemployed.
- Pay for heating oil for a family who house was in foreclosure and who income had decreased substantially.
- Pay the electric bill for an elderly woman who was in need of financial assistance.
Did you know 1,100 Darien residents live at or below the poverty line? Please consider a gift to the Touch-A-Life fund today.
