Essex Financial is proud to once again be a corporate sponsor of the Gowrie Group Annual Challenge!

Every year between November 1st and December 31st, Gowrie Group | Risk Strategies challenges their local community of businesses and friends to team together to raise money to benefit The Shoreline Soup Kitchens & Pantries, Inc.. This year, Gowrie Group has set an ambitious goal of raising $300,000 for the SSKP, which will bring its cumulative total to the $3 million mark

The COVID-19 pandemic’s official ending saw its impacts persist on the Connecticut shoreline. Prices increasing faster than incomes pushed essentials, including adequate food, out of reach for many households. A 2023 United Way of Connecticut study of asset limited, income constrained, employed people and households showed 39% of state residents either in poverty or struggling.

Together, with our Partner Sponsors: BrandTech Scientific, Essex Financial, Essex Savings Bank, L.C. Doane Company, Lenny & Joe’s Fish Tale, Sound Rigging Services, and Tower Labs, we are offering over $150,000 in matching funds to double the impact of your donation!
