Town That Cares Fund

The Town That Cares Logo

The Town That Cares is a special fund established by the Town of West Hartford’s Department of Human and Leisure Services. The fund assists residents experiencing a crisis situation hindering their ability to pay for utility bills, food, shelter costs, medical expenses and other critical needs. It is funded 100% by contributions from generous individuals, businesses and community groups.

In addition, each year The Town That Cares provides subsidies to a variety of seasonal activities administered by the Town.  These include:

  • Thanksgiving Food Distribution for Low-Income Families
  • Holiday Children's Party & Gift Card Distribution for Low-Income Families
  • Back to School Backpack and School Supplies Distribution for Low-Income Families
