“Help during the pandemic”
Make a monetary donation to help Madonna Place support children and families in our region with services through the Family Support Center, Great Beginnings Home Visiting, and Fatherhood Initiative Program. Unfortunately, we still can’t accept used clothing and items at this time due to COVID.  We have continued services uninterrupted during the pandemic, using remote phone and web-based means to provide parenting support and Family Support Center outreach, home visiting and fatherhood programming.  Food, diapers, formula, PPE, and other emergency basic needs resources are available for contact-free, curbside delivery.  Contact us at 860-886-6600 for help.

During “normal times” socially isolated and economically insecure families and children are already struggling.  This current public health crisis multiplies the negative effects on families who are isolated and financially stretched.  This extra stress puts children at higher than normal risk for abuse and neglect.

In addition, families who may have normally been stable and safe might be faced with challenges and barriers that increase the likelihood of abuse or neglect simply because of these abnormal circumstances we are experiencing.

There are many ways you can show your support.  Join us by:

* giving a monetary donation by mail or on our website.

* donating gift cards from local stores to Madonna Place for clients.

* making a donation in honor of a special person in your life to recognize them.

* checking in with friends, family and neighbors to see if they could use some extra emotional support during this pandemic.

*donating new facemasks, gloves, hand sanitzer or other PPE.

*buying local to help your local businesses stay open and by purchasing gift cards to keep businesses running.

*We are not taking used items at this time due to the pandemic.  Please call or email us if you have new items or questions.
