Need help with food, prescriptions, health insurance or health and human services? Connecticut’s “Rx Express” bus is coming to Avon and Canton during the month of May, thanks to Avon United Way and the Avon and Canton town Social Services departments. This volunteer-led project is part of United Way's work to help local people make ends meet.

Avon United Way and Canton United Way have joined forces to serve their respective towns as a single entity known as Avon-Canton United Way. Their decision to merge was approved by the United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut board of directors at its June meeting.
