OUR SIGNATURE EVENTS

These events are designed to engage our community in our mission and to raise funds for the 100+ local agencies that depend on our grants to serve our neighbors in need. We are grateful to the corporate sponsors and our community of supporters that make it all possible.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2025 Near & Far Aid Spring Gala: Big Sky: Bigger Hearts, Changing Lives at Mitchells! We are deeply grateful to our incredible sponsors, devoted supporters, and wonderful guests whose generosity and spirit made the night so memorable.

The Gala is one of Near & Far Aid’s signature events, where our all-volunteer board engages the Fairfield County community to raise critical funds for local agencies who provide essential support to struggling households, allowing them to lay a strong foundation for the next generation of Fairfield County residents.

Together, under the “big sky,” we celebrated the power of bigger hearts to change lives — and with your support, Near & Far Aid can continue its mission of breaking the cycle of poverty and bringing hope to our community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Near & Far Aid Designer Brunch & Sunset Cocktails! Your presence, energy, and support made the event truly special. Together, we celebrated design, community, and generosity — all in the spirit of helping those in need. We are so grateful for your continued commitment to Near & Far Aid’s mission of breaking the cycle of poverty.
