On August 18, in the middle of the day, residents of the Naugatuck Valley and surrounding areas received weather advisory warnings on their cell phones. Within hours, many found themselves standing inside their homes in several feet of water, forced to move to higher ground. Those on the roads were trapped, unable to drive, as floodwaters from surrounding waterways quickly inundated roads and homes. Tragically, lives were lost, and countless homes have been condemned or severely damaged. Many families are now facing the overwhelming loss of household items, rapid mold growth, and the trauma of displacement. Some, despite the severe damage, have no choice but to remain in their homes. Compounding these challenges, many do not have flood insurance because they do not live in designated flood zones. The flood has also left many residents homeless, exacerbating food insecurity and other vulnerabilities in our community.
On September 11th at Space Ballroom, we are hosting a benefit featuring Pangea, The Alpaca Gnomes, The Moonrise Cartel, and Erik Rabasca for those affected by this disaster to help them rebuild their lives, and to ensure that no one faces this crisis alone. 100% of all proceeds from the event will go to TEAM, Inc., a non-profit human services agency whose mission is to strengthen our communities by educating, supporting, and empowering individuals and families.
In addition to the music, we will hold a raffle with concert tickets and items generously donated by our friends at Redscroll Records, Static Era Records, each band performing that night, and more.
We will also be accepting food donations at the door for the Seymour Oxford Food Bank. Food donations will also be accepted at our shows that night at College Street Music Hall (Movements) and District Music Hall (The Lemonheads).
Tickets are being sold on a sliding scale, and are on sale now. We would like to thank Eventbrite for waiving their service fee to help support this cause.
