Other Ways to Help
Gifts in kind
The New London Homeless Hospitality Center is currently not accepting donations of clothing and we ask that you direct your donation of clothing to The Jumble Shop. just down the street, where our guests and community may also access your generous contributions.
Donations of clothing may also be made to MALTA at 20 Grove Avenue, Groton. Malta visits the shelter every Friday and delivers clothing to the guests. They even take special orders from our guests for such items as work boots, winter boots, coats, etc.
If you would like to donate other items, please see our list of items that we can currently accept, and then contact our donations coordinator, Barbara Perkins, to arrange a time to drop off the donation. Barbara can be reached at 860-262-1881.
The shelter can always use coffee, teas, sugar packets, coffee creamer, laundry pods and toiletries. You can buy from our custom gift list on Amazon, by clicking here. Essential items that benefit our guests and staff will be delivered directly to the shelter.
Do you have household goods, supplies, or furniture- or even a vehicle – that we might use for our apartments, shelter or office? Please keep us in mind as you replace equipment or clean house. Call Krys at 860-867-8469.

Create housewarming kits
We house about 100 people a year. Virtually all have limited income and need help with basic necessities for setting up an apartment. You can give them a warm welcome by providing the essentials to get them started. More information.

Last winter Clarissa Finco donated 41 beautiful hats she knitted herself. She told us that each hat takes about the time of one baseball game to make. What a terrific way to watch a game!
