About SCOW:

For 48 years, the Spanish Community of Wallingford (SCOW), has been successful in implementing its mission by providing a variety of social, cultural, educational services and enrichment activities that allow our clients to not only thrive, but to successfully integrate themselves into U.S. society. Every program we offer is designed and implemented to build confidence, enhance skills, and offer educational opportunities. While basic services allow our clients to survive, enrichment activities help transition them out of poverty to full participation in the U.S. society.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have shifted our primary focus to securing COVID-19 emergency funds in order to help our most vulnerable individuals and families. Through today, we have distributed over $45,000 in grant money received for COVID-19 relief to over 400 individuals to assist them with rent, utility, and medical bills, and even the purchase of food for their household.

The current circumstances forced us to make the difficult decision of rescheduling our main yearly fundraiser to 2021. Since the need in our community continues to increase, so must our efforts to secure funding for COVID-19 relief. In order to continue these efforts, our friends and sponsors at allnex & Röhm, have helped us put together a Virtual 5K Race/T-shirt Fundraiser.
