Agency Needs Wish List
The Connection engages in life changing work every day, but we can't do it without your help. We regularly accept personal hygiene products and nonperishable foods, and new and gently used items, including furniture and electronics, to assist us in our service to 6,000 children and adults whom we serve monthly in every part of Connecticut. We can provide receipts after items are dropped off if you itemize on your federal tax return.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the nature of our work, it is necessary to maintain the confidentiality of some facility sites. Because of this, it is important that you contact us before donating any items to verify need and to receive drop-off information (Do not drop items off at our corporate office). We regret that we are unable to pick items up, and we reserve the right to refuse items. Thank you for caring, and for your cooperation.
