Our programs offer food, shelter, and –most importantly– opportunity for men in Hartford without homes
Learn how you can hire full- and part-time workers to benefit your business while also making a difference.
While residents at the Open Hearth, our men will be guided and encouraged to pursue employment, school, or vocational training.
Discover how a donation of your time, talent, or money can help The Open Hearth help men to help themselves.
It was our Finance Director's last day Friday. He has been such an important part of our team. He will be missed. He deserves to retire - it is the 3rd time! Bill Tait served the agency with such dedication. But as we say at our agency - once you are a part of The Hearth you are always a part of The Hearth!!!
Thank you to South Windsor Mayor Andrew Paterna, Liliana Serrano-Fernandez and their crew. They came with food, they cooked and they cleaned up - great afternoon with great folks!!!
Our pleasure
Tell me about this event,
Thank you to Praline's Ice Cream for donating 6 gallons of ice cream for the Holiday Season!!! Thank you also to Jalmar DeDios for being our own personal ice cream Elf!!!
Update - We are all set. Many people have stepped forward. Thanks to everyone!!! The Open Hearth needs your help. We do a big meal on Thanksgiving for the men. In the past we have had commitments of donations of a variety of pies, cakes etc. by now. This year it has not happened. Before we purchase we thought we would put the request out to the universe. If you are interested or know some who may be call Kat at The Open Hearth at 860-257-5574 and thanks!
Would love to help. Calling tomorrow.
I can send you the contact info for some volunteers if you need it !
Sending you a PM

Are you still in need of desserts?
Save the date: Our Seventh Annual Hearth and Home Gala is just around the corner!
Looking for work is often a solitary pursuit and – for a man facing one or more barriers to employment – the task of finding a good job can be daunting. Every day, we are inspired by the courage and resiliency of the men that we serve at The Open Hearth Association.
With the continued support of local employers – through attending our biannual in-house job fairs and through hiring our residents – there is a light at the end of the tunnel for our guys. The gentleman in this image – at the time of the fair, recently released from prison – interviewed at the fair in June and, within a few weeks, was working full time. He still has that job today and is now asking us about going back to school.
So yes, these small in-house job fairs are powerful. They work because of our participating employers! If any of you can nominate a business that would fit with the work we do, please let us know.
And, before I forget, we are adding a small group of women to our attendees for the first time ever – by invitation, through a new, collaborative employment project (Open Hearth Works).
More details in the coming days.
Amazing idea...
