Mission Partners
Columbus House
Believing everyone deserves a safe home, we have partnered with Columbus House for over 25 years. Dedicated to ending homelessness in Connecticut, they offer temporary shelter, personal growth services and a path to a home for those at risk of or experiencing homelessness in CT.

We’re back serving a full, hot breakfast one Saturday morning per month in the dining room and to the clients in the Medical Respite floor. As is our tradition, we will provide a bit of Christmas cheer to those awaiting a home of their own with gifts of socks, scarves, hats, gloves, and gift cards. And our youth plan to make fleece blankets and greeting cards for the Medical Respite clients.
