How Gifts Of Love Helps Families in Crisis:
The families that are served by Gifts of Love's programs face a short-term crisis in their lives due to the loss of employment, 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. |

We offer assistance to our clients for a period of up to one year, although each case is monitored and evaluated separately. Through our emergency services, we also assist a number of families on a one-time basis. All support is provided free of charge.
In addition to providing basic needs, we also empower our clients to seek a better employment situation. We are providing our clients with information and application assistance to Goodwin College. The Community Engagement Division of Goodwin College is focusing on the development of relationships with other non-profit organizations operating in the Capital Workforce region. Their goal is to provide our clients with an opportunity to go to college with little or no out-of-pocket cost to them.
In addition, 6 of our volunteers and staff members completed a budget coaching training class from CT Co-Opportunities. We are now able to assist clients with monthly budgeting assistance and monitoring. This fits in nicely with our program which assists clients on a monthly basis. We are now able to assist with long-term solutions.
If you are in need of services please contact us at 860-676-2323
