We hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy. The Village has been engaging our community in new and innovative ways during this challenging time and we’re excited to share these updates with you.
As you scroll down, we believe you'll be inspired by the good things that are happening during a time that can otherwise feel discouraging.
Please remember, whether you need help or want to help, we are here.
Sincerely,

We are working on a Taskforce to ensure that, as schools reopen, public education in Connecticut is more equitable, more effective and more accessible. Students have basic needs for food, shelter, child care, health care, internet connectivity and mental health support, and we're helping make sure these basic needs are met.
A heartfelt thank you to the many foundations and corporate supporters that have helped us promptly address urgent needs brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
With guidance from UCONN epidemiologist Dr. Kevin Diekhaus, The West Hartford Village Second Chance Shop will reopen at the end of June and the Glastonbury shop will open after July 4. Simsbury and Suffield shops plan to open around Labor Day.
Tax season has been extended to July 15! Know someone who still needs to file? FREE online tax help is available for CT tax filers with 2019 incomes up to $56,000.
While the Foursomes for Fatherhood Golf Classic will have to wait, the need to support struggling fathers does not - they need our help now more than ever.
