HARTFORD, Conn. — The CVS Health Foundation is investing $1 million through its Hometown Fund to support 20 nonprofit organizations serving the Greater Hartford area, funding initiatives that expand access to health care, address food insecurity, increase housing stability and strengthen essential community services.
“We’re investing in Hartford nonprofits that are meeting people where they are, helping individuals and families access health care, food, stable housing and the support they need to stay healthy,” said Jenny McColloch, president of the CVS Health Foundation. “Through our Hometown Fund, we focus on communities our colleagues call home, supporting organizations that are addressing the everyday factors that shape wellbeing and making a difference in the Greater Hartford area.”
Among this year's recipients is ImmaCare, which supports individuals experiencing homelessness through emergency shelter, housing assistance, and wraparound services for mental health and substance use. The grant will help the organization expand access to services that improve health outcomes and create pathways to long-term housing stability.
“ImmaCare is honored to receive a Hometown Fund grant from the CVS Health Foundation,” said Teresa A. Wierbicki, director of strategic development at ImmaCare. “Flexible support like this is invaluable, allowing us to invest in strategic initiatives that strengthen our services, expand pathways to stable housing and address the increasing challenges of homelessness and housing insecurity. Together, we are creating lasting opportunities for individuals to rebuild their lives.”
The remaining Greater Hartford grant recipients are Center for Children’s Advocacy, Center for Latino Progress, Chrysalis Center, Easterseals Capital Region & Eastern Connecticut, Enfield Loaves & Fishes, Forge City Works, Friendship Service Center, Hartford Health Initiative, House of Bread, Journey Home, KNOX, Malta House of Care, Mercy Housing and Shelter Corporation, Northeast Neighborhood Partners, Prudence Crandall Center, Special Olympics Connecticut, St. Vincent de Paul Place Middletown, Urban League of Greater Hartford and YWCA Hartford Region.
The Hometown Fund provides general operating support to nonprofit organizations in Rhode Island and the Hartford area, two communities where many CVS Health colleagues live and work. The program focuses on improving access to health care and addressing social drivers of health, including nutrition, housing and community support.
The announcement builds on CVS Health's broader investment in Connecticut communities. In 2025, CVS Health and the CVS Health Foundation contributed more than $2.61 million in charitable giving statewide, along with volunteer service, workforce development initiatives, and free health screenings through the company's Project Health program. The company said it continues to partner with community organizations to improve access to care and address housing, food insecurity, and mental health needs across Connecticut.
