BEYOND THE WORK OF LAW

Westport, Connecticut-based FLB Law attorneys and staff worked together, for their quarterly Day of Service program, to create holiday cards for Circle of Care, a nonprofit organization that offers emotional and financial support to children who are fighting cancer and their families. The support provided by Circle of Care starts from the day of diagnosis and continues throughout the treatment and beyond.

The firm produced 150 cards that will be paired with holiday gifts for Circle of Care families. It also made a monetary contribution to the organization.

FLB Law’s ACCELERATE program provides support to local nonprofits and small businesses by offering creative solutions to the challenges they face. Initiatives have included a program to pack backpacks with holiday treats and essentials, birthday boxes for the Norwalk-based Domestic Violence Crisis Center, donated 1,200 cans of soup to the Filling in the Blanks SOUPer Bowl Food Drive, created toiletry and produce baskets for Person to Person, and performed gardening work at the Gillespie Center in Westport.
