20 Years of Service and Compassion


Evergreen Network is pleased to announce our 20th year anniversary!

Since the beginning of the pandemic, ENI has provided services and relief for those affected by HIV/AIDS and their extended families in the greater Bridgeport CT area.

Evergreen lead the way in providing the nation's very first children's support group, "The Sunshine Kids", for children orphaned or affected by HIV/AIDS.

"The Sunshine Kids" along with our women's, our grandmother's, and men's groups, have been meeting on a continual basis for these 20 years.

This past Christmas, ENI was able to serve 87 families with 120 children and 158 adults!

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank all our generous supporters, volunteers, and our client families for their continuing efforts and inspiration.
