Serving Barkhamsted, Colebrook, New Hartford, Norfolk, Winsted-Winchester Since 2006

Helping Hands Chore Service, Inc. was established in 2006 as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, doing business as “Helping Hands” and registered by the State of Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection.  HCA.0000201.  Our office is located in the Winsted Health Center, 115 Spencer Street, Winsted, CT, where day-to-day operations and financial transactions are handled.  This site is also home to several medical offices and the Susan B.

Funding

Helping Hands is partially funded by a grant from the Western Connecticut Area Agency on Aging made possible through the Older Americans Act and State funding.  We also depend on client donations, town assistance and financial support from the community and Winsted Health Center Foundation.

Helping Hands actively pursues grant opportunities and fundraising initiatives to acquire much-needed revenue to benefit our senior clients.  In 2021, we were awarded funding from the following Grantors:

  • Archbishop’s Annual Appeal
  • Northwest CT Community Foundation COVID-19 Cycle III Grant
  • COVID-19 HRSA Relief Fund
  • Draper Foundation Fund, a fund of the Northwest CT Community Foundation
  • Northwest CT Community Foundation Year-End Critical Needs Grant

Grant projects for above have included program expansion and development, medical transportation for seniors, PPE replenishment for caregivers, service hours for high-risk clients, companionship for hospice clients and respite for family members.

Helping Hands is a subcontractor with Connecticut Community Care, Inc. (CCCI) and National Family Care Support (NFCSP), Congregate Housing Services (CHSP) and Respite Programs.  Helping Hands is an active member of the Connecticut Homemaker & Companion Association.
