February 2026 Reach Out
During these cold winter months … let us not forget the less fortunate!
Every day, throughout the greater Hartford area, there are hundreds of people—the overwhelming majority often women and children—who have found themselves homeless due to domestic violence, eviction, unemployment, or mental illness.
Since 1982, My Sisters’ Place has provided a safe, nurturing environment for those who find themselves without a home. Through a unique combination of services and support, guidance, encouragement, and outreach, we work to help empower disadvantaged people in becoming independent.
My Sisters’ Place provides shelter, food for women and their children, and services designed to get them back onto the road to independence, including medical care, management of financial affairs, and much more.
My Sisters’ Place Core Values: Resilience, Safety, Adaptability
Resilience – honoring courage and strength; viewing setbacks as opportunities for growth.
Safety – provide safe, secure, and trauma informed environments that foster healing and stability.
Adaptability – capacity to adjust to new situations and changing environments, embracing flexibility in the face of uncertainty.
