Thousands of Hartford area residents are overflowing 30+ local shelters. Power restoration is under way, but many homes remain cold and shelter volunteers are nearing exhaustion.  Your community needs you today!

Please consider volunteering for shift work in our shelters.  Volunteers are needed for all shifts - especially the evening hours (6 p.m. to midnight) when demand is greatest, and on the weekends. Your work may include helping with food distribution, helping frail and elderly people bathe and get around, and being there to listen.  No special skills are needed. All volunteers will be screened.

To volunteer, please call the Capitol Region Regional Coordination Center at 860-647-5699, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Thank you for Living United!
