HistoryHands On Hartford was founded as Center City Churches in 1969. The agency was founded by the members of eight congregations in downtown Hartford to help their congregants put their faith into action. Over the years, the agency created Connecticut's first supportive housing program for people living with AIDS; Hartford's first and only group home for adults who are mentally ill; Hartford's first soup kitchen; Hartford's only fuel assistance program for the working poor; Connecticut's first and Hartford's only weekend senior nutrition program; and, Hartford's most comprehensive after-school tutoring and arts education program for elementary school children. In 2006, Center City Churches became the Hartford affiliate of HandsOn Network.
