Help 500 kids stay warm!
Committed to
helping children,
adults and families
in Greater Hartford.
Our 200-year-old mission is to build a community of strong, healthy families who protect and nurture children.
Help 500 kids stay warm!
Temperatures have been freezing and children we serve desperately need new winter gear to keep warm.
Starting Valentine’s Day, we have two weeks to provide 500 kids with new coats, hats, scarves and mittens. Will you please give what you can to help us provide these crucial items?
Your support—in any amount—will help them #feelthelove!
The Village’s historic Albany Avenue campus in Hartford is turning 100 and we want to hear from you! Whether you found support, a new beginning, a foster or adoptive family—or became a foster parent yourself, your story is a vital part of our history.
