75th Anniversary

For 75 years, Cohen and Wolf, P.C. has been privileged to serve clients with trusted guidance, personal attention, and practical legal advice. As reflected in our 75 for 75 initiative highlighted to the left, we are marking this milestone by supporting 75 community organizations and participating in several service projects throughout the year. We are honored to give back to the communities we have proudly served for generations.

On June 25, 2026, we celebrated our 75th anniversary firmwide with a dinner at the Patterson Club in Fairfield. Attorneys and staff from our five offices came together to enjoy an evening of dining, fellowship, and remarks from Co-Managing Partner Stuart M. Katz and Director of Human Resources & Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Avery R. Lupia. The celebration also featured a Cohen and Wolf trivia game hosted by Attorneys Kaelyn M. Mostafa and Jenna A. Shankman. It was a wonderful evening commemorating this important milestone in our firm's history.

On October 30, 2026, Cohen and Wolf employees volunteered at the Connecticut Foodshare Mobile Pantry on the St. Vincent's Medical Center campus, distributing food to Bridgeport-area residents in need. Many guests walk or take the bus to reach the pantry. Together with other community volunteers, we served more than 200 guests. They received fresh produce, including broccoli, celery, melons, and bananas, as well as pantry staples such as pasta, sauce, cereal, and snacks.

St. Vincent's Medical Center offers mobile food distribution every other week through its partnership with Connecticut Foodshare, a member of the Feeding America network of food banks. Connecticut Foodshare and local partners run additional mobile pantries across the state.

On September 19, 2026, Cohen and Wolf, P.C. collaborated with Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo to host a volunteer and family event. Cohen and Wolf employees and their family members spent time completing landscaping projects, including spreading mulch near the entrance and weeding the picnic grove and new playground area. After the service work, volunteers enjoyed a catered lunch sponsored by the firm in the Hanson Exploration Station, followed by time with their families exploring the Zoo.

According to Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo, volunteers are an essential part of the organization, contributing their time and energy to support its education and conservation mission. By engaging with visitors, caring for the grounds, and assisting with animals, volunteers make a meaningful impact on the Zoo community and its guests.

On August 13, 2026, as part of Cohen and Wolf, P.C.'s 75th anniversary year, attorneys and staff came together in service of the local community by supporting Operation Hope's Bag Lunch Distribution Program, preparing more than 50 bagged lunches for neighbors in need. The lunches, which included sandwiches, fruit, drinks, and snacks donated by the firm, supported Operation Hope's ongoing efforts to address food insecurity and provide essential resources to individuals and families throughout the community.

Operation Hope’s food pantry is an important resource for local families and individuals, particularly on weekends when the organization’s Community Kitchen is closed. In addition to distributing food, the pantry provides essential items such as toiletries, helping meet basic needs with dignity and care.

On July 10, 2026, Cohen and Wolf employees were honored to volunteer at the Homes with Hope food pantry in Westport as part of our firm’s 75th anniversary initiative. Homes with Hope is a Westport-based organization dedicated to preventing and ending housing and food insecurity in Fairfield County. In 2025, Homes with Hope served 2,195 households.

In advance of the volunteer day, Cohen and Wolf organized a firm-wide food drive, collecting and donating non-perishable items most needed at that time. During the service project, our volunteers sorted donations and stocked shelves with the firm’s donated goods, as well as other food donations from community donors. Our firm also supplied lunch for Homes with Hope’s emergency shelter guests.

On April 10, 2026, a group of current and former Cohen and Wolf employees had the privilege of preparing to-go meals and serving guests at Dorothy Day Hospitality House as part of the firm’s 75th anniversary initiative. Together, we served more than 150 hot meals and 150 cold meals, along with desserts and hot coffee. We also helped distribute community-donated food items requested by guests to take home, including fresh breads and fruits.

Dorothy Day Hospitality House plays a vital role in the Danbury community by offering daily meals to individuals in need. Modeled after the Houses of Hospitality founded by Dorothy Day during the Great Depression, the organization operates entirely through the dedication of volunteers, with no paid staff.
