The Circle of the Sacred Well
An Eclectic Neopagan Circle
Community Service
One of the Circle's goals is to foster social responsibility by performing volunteer work and/or providing charitable services.
Our current projects are:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
COOKING MEALS AT HOMELESS SHELTER
The
Circle currently sponsors evening meals on a regular basis at the
ACT Spooner House Transitional Living Facility, located in Shelton,
CT. Spooner House is called home by 35 individuals and
families in need. It is one of the few shelters in the state
that accepts families with children. Spooner House is
administered and/or assisted by Area Congregations Together (ACT) a
cooperative consisting of local churches, synagogues, mosques, temples
and, yes, pagan circles (ours), plus various civic organizations.
Through long tradition (dating back more than 25 years) each night,
the evening meal is provided by one of the sponsoring
churches/organizations. Currently, the Circle is sponsoring
the meal on an ad hoc basis, as needed (and as can be staffed).
The meal schedule for 2012 is as follows:
Saturday, March 31st
Saturday, June 30th
Friday, October 19th
We are always seeking volunteers to help prepare and serve the meal. Two shifts are available: 4 - 6 p.m. or 6 - 8 p.m. Volunteers who help cover both shifts will be provided with a meal.
Please e-mail us if you can help.

PRESENTS
4 PETS
Pet care items are being collected for donation to local animal shelters and rescue groups to help them provide for the homeless animals in their care. Items needed include: pet food, treats, toys, towels, beds, grooming tools, collars, leashes and cat litter. This effort is ongoing. Donations can be brought to any Circle event.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FOOD DRIVE
Contributions of canned and dry food are always being collected for donation to area food banks. Contributions collected are donated to the Valley Food Bank, located at ACT Spooner House in Shelton, CT. The Valley Food Bank serves the Naugatuck Valley and surrounding towns. This effort is ongoing. Donations can be brought to any Circle event.
Community Service
The Circle believes that it is important to work to create, support and maintain community. This includes both the pagan and the mundane communities. For this reason, we hold open events and also do volunteer work in the local community.
Please contact us if you would like to participate in any of our community service projects, or if you know of a worthy cause that is open to Circle assistance.
