Mission: The mission of Gifts of Love is to reduce financial crises for working individuals and families in the Greater Hartford area by offering short-term programs and education that support and improve sustainability. The individuals and families Gifts of Love serve often face a short-term financial crisis due to reduced work hours, illness, divorce, death of a spouse/mate, exiting an abusive relationship, or a significant unexpected increase in expenses. By helping clients meet their most basic needs through food, clothing, housewares, linens and furniture, we enable them to focus on putting their lives back in order and attaining financial independence.
