The House of Bread in Hartford, Connecticut, has been helping the most-needy in the Hartford community. With day-old donuts and coffee, two inspirational nuns, Sr. Maureen and Sr. Theresa, vowed to help the hungry and homeless in Hartford’s North End. The House of Bread’s doors opened to 17 guests at 227 High Street on February 4, 1980. Today, House of Bread serves nearly 1,000 people every day.
House of Bread offers food, housing, and education. The House of Bread is a sponsored ministry of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Chambéry and has touched the lives of tens of thousands of men, women and children.
