Person-to-Person provides goods and services for those with limited resources to help them meet the challenges of daily life.

We all know life is full of uncertainties. For those with no financial cushion the unexpected can be overwhelming. What if you were hurt on a job? What if you became a single parent? What if you couldn’t make ends meet, even with two jobs?

That’s where Person-to-Person comes in.

We offer services to people who need a helping hand. And we are able to do so because we have the support of individuals, businesses, community organizations and foundations in Lower Fairfield County.
