Who We Are

All In for Ansonia and Derby is an alliance of neighbors and neighborhood organizations working to make it possible for everyone in Ansonia and Derby to have a safe and joyful place to live, a place where food is secure, and a voice in the decisions that affect our lives.

We work locally and across town lines to understand and address the root causes of poverty.

All In for Ansonia and Derby represents a broad coalition of residents -- young and old, Republican and Democrat, rural and urban, rich and poor and middle-class, of many races and ethnicities -- as well as local businesses, churches, community centers, and service organizations.

Working together we make it possible for residents to discover common interests and work side-by-side toward common goals, including with people and groups they may have previously misunderstood or even feared.

All In for Ansonia and Derby was formed in the middle of the pandemic with support and underwriting by TEAM, Inc., the community action agency in the Naugatuck Valley region. TEAM remains one of All In’s “backbone” institutions, along with the Naugatuck Valley Project, a regional grassroots organizing network.

These two nonprofits offer logistical, fundraising, and staff support to All In’s volunteer leaders, to help us work with our neighbors to share stories, build power, and create change!
