Harambee Center Danbury

Wowsers!

We are so grateful to all the folks who donated for our school supply drive.

Many thanks to: JP, KC, Chris L, Diane A, Carolina, Tarol S, Deborah F, Jana, Heather L, Tanya, Zeus, Lysbeth G, Cyndie M, Cherie, and so many other anonymous Danbury neighbors who purchased items off of our Amazon Wish List.

There is still time to purchase school supplies if you would still like to make a donation. Sometimes our children won't know what they really need until school starts. So, please stop by with any of your purchases from 4-10pm M-F, message us for a pickup, or shop from our Amazon Wish list and have the items sent directly to us.
