Maritime Chevy Teams Up with Team Woofgang & Co.

All of us here at Maritime Chevy are excited to partner up with Team Woofgang & Co., a non-profit organization committed to empowering adults with disabilities. Woofgang team members engage in two specialized programs that include producing, packaging, marketing, and selling handmade dog treats and pet toys. From now until the end of October, each of our customers with furry companions will receive a free sample of Fairfield-made peanut butter dog treats!

In 2017, Kelly Maffei, Amy Stern, and Kris Burbank founded FUTURES-CT, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting adults with disabilities. In 2020, the organization rebranded as Team Woofgang & Co., reflecting its mission to provide meaningful vocational training and raise awareness about the need for local employment opportunities for transitioned adults with disabilities.

Kelly Maffei, from Fairfield, serves as the Program & Retail Manager at Team Woofgang & Co. With over 20 years of experience advocating for children with disabilities, her work focuses on preventing social and physical isolation among individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Amy Stern, from Black Rock, is the current President of the Board of Directors. As an advocate, she has spoken for the Fairfield Public School system on raising young adults with disabilities post-high school.

Kris Burbank, from Groton, is a parent coach and founder of Learn to Bloom Coaching. She has also founded Fairfield’s Committee for People with Disabilities, Stamford’s Access4All Committee, and previously served on the Abilis Board of Directors.
