Our Mission

 Holy Family Home and Shelter’s mission is to compassionately empower families and individuals experiencing homelessness with support by providing emergency and temporary housing. 

 HFHS is committed to providing shelter, case management, and basic needs to help individuals address their unique challenges so that they can build brighter futures for themselves and their families.

If you are homeless, or on the verge of becoming homeless, please call 2-1-1, select Option 3, then Option 1. You will be added to the State of Connecticut's Wait List, which is the list we use when we have available beds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at 860-423-7719 if you cannot find an answer to your question.

All individuals who are experiencing homelessness, or are at risk of becoming homeless, must be on the State of Connecticut's Coordinated Access Network's (CANs) waitlist. HFHS is unable to accept guests who do not go through the CANs in CT. To get on the waitlist, please call 2-1-1, select option 3, then option 1.


HFHS runs just like your home. We are always in need of things you need to keep your home running. We need food, paper towels, trash bags, cleaning products, and donations to cover house expenses. Please click our "Ways to Donate" tab above to see the items we are most in need of at this time. You can drop off donations directly to the shelter, or you can mail donations to: Holy Family Home and Shelter, P.O. Box 884, Willimantic, CT 06226. We also accept PayPal and Venmo.


We are always looking for volunteers to help out doing things around the shelter like yard work, general maintenance, cleaning, painting, and assistance with events. Volunteers must be over the age of 18 due to guest confidentiality requirements. If interested in becoming a volunteer, please call HFHS Volunteer Coordinator, at 860-423-7719.
