COMCAST LENDS A HAND

More than 650 Comcast Connecticut employees, their families and friends joined more than 62,000 volunteers nationwide participating in the 10th Comcast Cares Day — one of the country’s largest corporate days of community service. Comcast’s Connecticut volunteers rolled up their sleeves April 30 at sites in Danbury, Groton, Hartford, Middletown, New Britain, New Haven and Waterbury. In Hartford, Comcast employees partnered with the Community Renewal Team and Knox Parks Foundation to spruce up Hartford’s north end and beautify the Clark Elementary School.
