Urban Alliance works to create opportunities for people to achieve lasting change in their lives through the collaborative work of Christian churches and other partner organizations in our local community.
Addressing the Issues that Matter to our Community
Food Insecurity
Hartford has been called a food desert. Urban Alliance is working with Network Partners to help change that - providing training and resources, launching the Farmers Market Access Program, coordinating pop-up Food Distributions and pioneering ways to get nutritious food into the hands of those who need it most.
Summer of Hope
Churches from around the state are coming together to bring a message of Hope to their neighbors.
Second Chance Programs
Many returning citizens struggle to find employment, make ends meet and build a healthy network of support. Successful reentry relies on a variety of people and resources. Urban Alliance is working with churches and ministries to develop programs and provide resources to returning citizens.
Foster Care Recruitment
In partnership with The Village for Families & Children, Urban Alliance is working to recruit foster families for our state's most vulnerable children and youth.
Mental Health Support
Urban Alliance offers training, community and support to professional counselors, community organizations, and church programs that provide mental health support.
Education Inequity
Urban Alliance is working to help coordinate needs and organizations that are able to meet them, freeing teachers and school administration to focus on the work of educating the next generation.
Making a Difference
On August 11, 2022, Urban Alliance partnered with New Dimension Christian Center and Midwest Food Bank for the first of many "pop-up" distribution sites on Washington Street in Hartford. The Agape House was very much still “in action,” despite the challenges the coronavirus was presenting. We recently sat down with UAGive donor Anna Pan to talk about what motivates her to give, what she hopes for the future for Urban Alliance, and how she sees the church as a critical factor in mobilizing sacrificial giving to help others. Marcus Morales is no stranger to overcoming challenges. Born deaf, he’s navigated a world filled with people who communicate in ways that he is unable.
