Windsor Nonprofits and Charities

Mary's Place has been an excellent resource for my daughter after the death of her father. They offer a wide variety of age-specific groups ranging from 3-years-old up through high school. Mary's Place provides a safe environment for children to share their emotions with others their age who understand what they are experiencing. Through a wide variety of activities, sharing, play, family events, and song, children work through their grief surrounded by fellow peers and caring adults. I find it to be particularly helpful for young children because as they grow through the years, they will experience new forms of grief and Mary's Place is equipped to help them through the various milestones. <br> <br>Mary's Place also offer an extensive library for children and caregivers alike to help navigate the daunting waters of a personal loss. There is a widow/widowers group that also meets bi-weekly. During the children's sessions, parents can share with each other their own experiences that so few others in their daily lives might actually understand. As a child or a parent/caregiver, you never feel alone or misunderstood at Mary's Place. <br> <br>The volunteers genuinely care about all the kids and build lasting friendships with each child. Many of the high school/college aged volunteers spent a number of years attending Mary's Place as children and now give back their time to help other children suffering from the loss of a close family member/friend. <br> <br>This is a place I hope I never have to recommend to anyone else. But if you find yourself in the midst of a personal loss and a part of this very unfair group, Mary's Place is the best place to be! <br> <br>Thank you for all you have done! <br>

This is a very dedicated group of volunteers who give their heart and soul to helping dogs in the Hartford shelter receive critical medical treatment. They also step in to help families who have emergency medical issues with their pets and might not otherwise be able to treat them or keep them. They are also a resource to the stray cats in Hartford who need help. The need in Hartford is so great, this group is doing the people and the animals (not to mention the city) an amazing service.

Wonderful museum preserving early products all electronic. Great museum for school groups and they even have a crystal radio workshop for kids! Many of the antique radios, telephones, computers, cameras and more were manufactured in the U.S. a great lesson for future generations to know. This museum offers tours, workshops, swap meets and more. Definitely a favorite place for the tube radio fan!
