A Big Move + Makeover

This summer, we relocated from our longtime home in Mystic to a much larger office in Ledyard, CT. The move marked an exciting new chapter, but what makes it truly special is the incredible support of our volunteers. 

They arrived early with trucks, vans, and cars to haul boxes and furniture, turning a daunting task into a day filled with teamwork and laughter. It was truly a labor of love. 

When a business in Warwick, Rhode Island, generously donated much-needed furniture, volunteers once again came to our rescue and delivered. 

Admittedly, the entire space needs a makeover — a fresh coat of paint, floors, and an upgrade to the HVAC system — but it’s a work in progress and we’re starting to see the dividends. Volunteers have pulled up broken floor tiles, removed carpet, painted walls, provided design suggestions, and installed new flooring, giving at least one of the offices fresh energy and a clean palette. 

 

The work isn’t complete, but thanks to our community, Avalonia has the beginning of a strong foundation for the future. We are deeply grateful to all who have jumped in to help.
