Messages like this make our whole day! 🫶

Hearing from a client who is excited to turn their house into a home is a reminder of why we do what we do. Every delivery and every helping hand is part of creating a place where someone can feel safe, comfortable, and at home. 🏡

Homelessness is a community issue, and we can be part of the solution.

✅ Advocate for policies and investments that create and preserve affordable homes.
✅ Donate, volunteer, and support organizations working to end homelessness.
✅Talk about homelessness as a housing and economic issue, not a character flaw.

Journey Home works across the Capital Region of CT to prevent homelessness, connect people to housing and help people remain stably housed.

Way to go, Dylan! Thank you Fresh Start Pallet Products for your partnership. ❤️

Meet Dylan, our newest Production Coordinator! 🎉

Dylan joined Fresh Start Worx in a part-time role as Production Coordinator and has already become an important part of our team. Focused on rebuilding his career and strengthening his connection to the workforce, Dylan is embracing every opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute.

With the support of the Fresh Start Worx team, Dylan has been making tremendous progress learning the operations of our production shop, helping navigate our exciting move to Pitkin Street, and becoming a dependable resource for both staff and program participants.

Dylan was referred to Fresh Start Worx through our community partner, Home, whose mission is to ensure a home for all by bringing together service providers, businesses, government agencies, and local communities to end homelessness and create lasting systemic change throughout Connecticut's Capital Region.

At Fresh Start Worx, we believe that opportunity, support, and meaningful work can transform lives. Dylan's journey is a great example of what can happen when community organizations collaborate to help individuals move forward.

Happy International Youth Day! We love our student volunteers. ❤️ Today, we’re celebrating the incredible young people who choose to give their time, energy, and heart to their communities.

☔️☔️☔️To say it was a little rainy would be an understatement… but that didn’t stop this mighty group of volunteers from Angela Belt Interiors ! They showed up on the rainiest of rainy days with smiles on their faces and delivered furniture to 2️⃣ newly housed clients. They also picked up some furniture donations to help stock our warehouse, and paid a visit to our thrift shop, Home for Good !

We loved having this local group join us, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with them well into the future!
