🇺🇸 Join Us in Honoring Our Veterans! 🇺🇸

The City of New Britain, Mayor Erin E. Stewart, and the Veterans Commission invite the entire community to our VETERANS DAY SERVICE. Let's stand together to honor the incredible women and men who have served in the United States Armed Forces.

🗓️ Date & Time: Tuesday, November 11, 2025, at 11:00 AM
📌 Location: Central Park, Downtown New Britain

We look forward to seeing you there as we recognize the sacrifices and dedication of all of our veterans.

As we wrap up Prevention Month, we would like to take a moment to reflect on our Hoops for Homeless basketball tournament! 🏀

It was truly inspiring to witness the New Britain community unite in support of youth homelessness, while students showcased their basketball talents to fundraise for initiatives that address homelessness among children and families in New Britain.

A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, players, and volunteers for making this event a remarkable success!
