Your support makes a difference Gifts of Love Programs Walk-in Pantry Gifts of Love houses a food and clothing pantry stocked with donated goods. Food drives are regularly held and area residents routinely donate all types of clothing and household items. There are regular Pantry hours, or a person can call the office and make an appointment. Sponsorship can be a rewarding experience where those offering help establish a relationship with those needing a helping hand. We welcome referrals from clergy members, school officials, social workers, or a concerned family member or friend.
Sponsors give only what they can, when they can.
Those who cannot sponsor a family for a period of time may choose a holiday only. The Gifts of Love Pantry is an important resource for families in crisis. It is a complete food pantry, plus an emergency source for donated clothing, toys and household items. More than 35 Greater Hartford shelters, soup kitchens, and community agencies receive regular deliveries of baked goods, clothing, donated household items and furniture delivered by Gifts of Love volunteers. Also, individuals leaving shelters come to Gifts of Love for the necessary items to set up a home.
