Clinton Families Lifting Each Other Up

Community-powered food, heat, and kids' programs for Clinton, CT families who need a hand.

About Us

Some organizations talk about community. Families Helping Families, Inc. actually shows up, at 248 Cow Hill Road in Clinton, CT, with groceries, heating assistance, and a genuine plan to make sure no local family goes cold or hungry. The work here is neighbor-to-neighbor, driven by people who understand that a crisis can hit anyone, and that the fastest way through it is a community that responds without judgment.

The mission is direct: every Clinton family deserves a warm home and healthy meals. That clarity shapes everything from the emergency assistance offered to struggling households to the enrichment programs designed to give kids a reason to be excited about their days. The organization runs on donated time, donated dollars, and the conviction that families are stronger together than apart.

If you have been wondering where your donation or your volunteer hours would actually make a difference, this is the answer. And if you are a family facing a hard stretch, this is the place that will meet you where you are.

What We Offer

Beyond those immediate needs, the organization runs kids enrichment programs that give children in Clinton access to experiences and opportunities that strengthen their futures.
