Greater Hartford Chapter of Jack & Jill 

As a result of COVID-19, 1 in 4 families is struggling to put food on the table. Lack of proper food and nutrition results in health, developmental impairments, and social and behavioral issues.

​

The Greater Hartford Chapter regularly donates to Hands on Hartford, a social service nonprofit organization that serves some of Connecticut's most economically challenged residents in food, housing, and health.
