Ways to Give

For over four decades, My Sisters’ Place has worked tirelessly to address the problem of homelessness in the Greater Hartford area, helping more than 26,000 people in the community achieve stability and self-sufficiency. We have proven time and time again that it is possible for those experiencing homelessness to step out into a bright new future of independence. 

But we can’t do it alone. As a nonprofit agency, the support of those in our community is critical to the success of our mission. Our greatest need is for people like you to make a commitment to helping the homeless through generous and consistent donations. Join our mission and help us work toward the day when every person has permanent, safe housing and a future of self-reliance.
