Talbot Community Connections (TCC) was established in 2001 and incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 2002. TCC raises funds to support the Talbot County Department of Social Services to help meet the unmet needs that are fundamental to the safety, security, health, and well-being of Talbot County’s children and adults. Every year, TCDSS finds citizen need is greater than available governmental funding. Over the last 20 years, TCC has assisted approximately 5000 citizens in need with approximately $500,000. Funds raised also support the Talbot County Children’s Advocacy Center, families in crisis, the unemployed, and disabled and frail elderly.
