Welcome to Hartford Lending Hands!At Hartford Lending Hands, we believe in the power of community, connection, and compassion. Since our founding on November 5, 2013, we have been dedicated to lifting up families in need, starting with our very first initiative, Christmas Help for Needy Families. What began as a small effort to bring holiday joy has grown into a thriving nonprofit with year-round programs that empower, educate, and support our community.
Today, we are proud to offer:
✨ Food & Clothing Pantry – Providing essential resources for individuals and families in need.
✨ Autism & Me Parent Support Group – A safe space for parents raising children with autism to connect and find support.
✨ Young Moguls Business Club – Encouraging and educating youth on entrepreneurship and financial literacy.
✨ Boss Up Academy – Empowering adults with the tools and knowledge to start and grow their own businesses.
✨ Stability Financial Education Program – Helping individuals take control of their finances and build a secure future.
✨ Christmas Help – Our biggest and longest-running program, ensuring families have a joyful holiday season.
We are so grateful for the growing support of our amazing sponsors, including Six Flags New England for our Fall Funday and Rise and Shine CT for multiple programs like Christmas Help, Young Moguls, and Boss Up Academy.
After a pause due to funding challenges, we proudly brought back our Annual Fall Funday in 2023 and 2024, with many more to come! And we’ve expanded our impact even further--we are now open Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM (no more appointment-only visits!).
We’re growing, making waves across Connecticut, and building strong relationships with donors, partners, and friends who believe in our mission. But we can’t do it alone! We are always looking for volunteers who share our passion for making a difference.
Join us, support us, and let’s continue changing lives together!
