How Gifts of Love helps families in crisis:
Gifts of Love provides basic needs - food, clothing, furniture, household items, energy assistance - to people in the Greater Hartford area, but, in most cases, to qualify for our program they need to be working. When times are toughest, the working poor who don't qualify for many government programs are often hit the hardest. The families that are served by GoL's programs face a short-term crisis in their lives due to reduced working hours, illness, divorce, death of a spouse/mate, domestic abuse, or a significant unexpected increase in expenses. By helping clients meet their families - most basic needs - food on the table, a winter coat, or a bed to sleep in, we enable them to focus on putting their lives back in order and regaining their independence.
