Danielle did an amazing job organizing "The Front Porch Project" for our town. She donated her talent, time and energy to make sure the two largest hospitals in our community, both Greenwich and Stamford Hospitals, had the funds needed to serve those in our area affected by COVID-19 safely.

Each family she photographed on their front porch during this time of quarantine committed to donating to one or both of the hospitals' COVID-19 Response Fund. She posted these photos on Facebook giving our town an uplifting way to see each other again, and a fun keepsake for each family to have of this time none of us expected to have.
