Grateful for Partners Who Help Make the Future Possible

FOSL is growing—and we are grateful for the many people and churches helping make that growth possible!

First, a heartfelt thank you to Spring Glen Church UCC in Hamden, which served as FOSL’s fiscal sponsor during our first year. Their generosity, collaborative spirit, and willingness to help us get started made a tremendous difference as Friends of Silver Lake took its first steps.

We are equally grateful to First Church in Glastonbury, UCC, for stepping forward as our new fiscal sponsor. Their partnership allows FOSL to receive a wider range of gifts, including Donor Advised Fund distributions, stock transfers, IRA rollovers, online gifts, and checks—both one-time and ongoing.

We are deeply appreciative of their enthusiastic welcome and spirit of collaboration. These partnerships are an important part of building the foundation for FOSL’s future—and, ultimately, for the future of Silver Lake.

Partnerships like these remind us that we are not doing this alone. Together, we are building a future for Silver Lake—and inviting everyone who loves this special place to be part of it.
