On behalf of the Community Appeal THANK YOU for your continued support. For over 70 years you have repeatedly shown that Fair Haven takes care of its own. We know that there is a lot of competition for your support and we truly appreciate every single donation.

Unfortunately, our 2025-2026 campaign had one of our lowest participation rates in recent years. However, we are once again humbly asking for your support for those charities and entities that serve Fair Haven and which deserve our contributions.

As we look ahead to 2026-2027, many of the organizations that are the beneficiaries of your generosity continue to struggle. While seeing an increase in demand for services, they continue to provide dedicated assistance to those in our community who are in the most need.

Additionally, your support to the committees in our town allow them to dream a little bigger than their budgets may allow. ANY donation that is made to these organizations will be put to the best possible use, courtesy of our Fair Haven residents and volunteers.

Like many of you, FHCA continues to make a concerted effort to reduce our expenses. We are happy to report that only approximately 10% of your donations were used to cover the costs of last year’s campaign allowing more of your donations to go to those most in need.

We also ask that if your employer has a matching gift program, designate the Fair Haven Community Appeal as your charitable organization. Please reach out to us if you require a Tax ID number or other information.

The Fair Haven Community Appeal is an independent 501(c)(3) organization, and your donations are 100% tax deductible.

As always, thank you for your continued generosity and support.

Sincerely,

The Fair Haven Community Appeal Executive Board

Michael Halfacre, President

Alison Black, Vice-President

Anita Esser, Treasurer

Amy Dixon, Corresponding Secretary

Denise Trocchia, Recording Secretary
