Connecticut Landmarks’ Hempsted Houses have partnered with the Homeless Hospitality Center in New London, Fiddleheads Food Co-op, and the Covenant House of New London to help give the gift of warmth to the New London community this winter season with a winter clothing drive. All donated items will go to the Homeless Hospitality Center and the Covenant House who will distribute the clothing to those in need.

From December 5, 2025 through January 10, 2026, we will be accepting new hats and gloves in all sizes, and new and gently-used coats in all sizes. Donations of children’s winter coats are especially appreciated.

Drop-Off Location (look for designated donation box):

• Fiddleheads Food Co-op, 13 Broad St, New London (view map) during business hours (8 am-9 pm)

Founded in 2008, Fiddleheads Food Cooperative is a cooperatively owned grocery store in New London, Connecticut that is open to all. Fiddleheads Food Co-op works to create a locally focused, sustainable and health-driven food system and exists so that Southeastern Connecticut is a healthy, robust, just, and inclusive community.
