why donate?

Your gift is not just a donation - it's reinforcing the roof over a family's head, fortifying a community's foundation, and laying the groundwork for lasting change. Every contribution - no matter the size - helps build strength, stability, and self-reliance in Eastern Connecticut. It helps us build a brighter tomorrow.

We’re proud to be a 4-star rated charity on Charity Navigator — their highest rating for transparency, accountability, and financial health. That means your support goes exactly where it should: helping families build brighter futures.

option 2: donate your furniture

Give furniture, appliances, home goods, and building materials new life — and support our work at the ReStore.

Here’s what your donation can help provide:

  • $10 helps buy a box of nails — the small but mighty tools that hold everything together.
  • $25 can supply a bundle of shingles to keep the roof strong and weather-tight.
  • $50 helps purchase energy-efficient light fixtures to brighten each room and lower utility costs.
  • $75 supports weatherproofing materials to keep homes safe, dry, and insulated through New England seasons.
  • $100 helps cover the cost of framing lumber — the structural bones of a home.

No matter the amount, your gift helps build strength, stability, and self-reliance through homeownership.

option 3: sponsorship

event sponsorship
