About Us
Mission Statement
Sherman Cares, Inc. was formed to solicit funds in order to provide charitable financial assistance to residents of the Town of Sherman, Connecticut.
Sherman Cares, Inc. operates as a resource of “last resort” for Sherman residents who have exhausted available assistance from Federal, State and local resources (primarily churches and the local branch of the Salvation Army) for such needs as heating fuel, electricity, transportation, medical and dental care, shelter, clothing, and food.
Having a nonsectarian source of funding, Sherman Cares, Inc. extends charitable financial assistance to all Sherman residents identified to be in need to the extent of available funds.
Recipients of financial assistance are identified by the Town of Sherman’s Director of Social Services, who will have evaluated the need and exhausted other resources available for the individual’s situation before recommending a case to Sherman Cares.
