Our nonprofit is working to transform a Winchester Repeating Arms WWII-era test firing range into a healing garden for anyone impacted by violence. Our programming focuses on violence prevention and healing for the community.
Funds raised from our cash bar, silent auction, and 50/50 raffle will support efforts to build the healing garden and support our year-round programming.
About Eli's Garden of Healing: Eli's Garden of Healing was established in 2022 in the aftermath of the shocking murder of 15-year-old Elijah Gomez, who was shot while walking home from Hamden High School on the Farmington Canal Trail. Eli’s Garden of Healing is dedicated to fostering community healing and violence prevention. We exist to serve survivors of violence & develop safer communities.

Laying the Cash Tracks for Community Impact
LISC CFO Christina Travers is among the impact investing leaders who contributed commentaries to a new book, The Social Justice Investor, and joined a panel discussion at today’s book launch. In her essay, “Laying the Cash Tracks,” (reprinted here) she explains the evolution of LISC’s capital markets experience—noting how discouraging Wall Street conversations eventually led to transformative, community-focused investments.Sharing the Story of Social Justice Investing
With the launch of the new book, The Social Justice Investor, LISC’s Christina Travers reflects on the ways that CDFIs have tapped the capital markets to deepen their impact—working to upend lingering misconceptions among some investors. "Whether we are financing affordable housing, small businesses, health, safety, climate resilience, racial equity or jobs, we see financial performance and local impact as part of the same whole."EPA Awards GRID Alternatives Solar for All Grant
LISC partner GRID Alternatives has been awarded a $249,800,000 Solar for All grant from the EPA to advance renewable and clean energy sources for affordable housing communities across the country. “The grant is an incredible boon to the movement to decarbonize homes and lower energy costs that burden millions of everyday Americans,” said Michael T. Pugh, president and CEO of LISC.
