About Hall Neighborhood House
Hall Neighborhood House has been serving families on the Lower East Side of Bridgeport for 139 years. It is a true community center, addressing the needs of every age group in the community.
Services consist of early childhood education, birth to 5 years old, as well as a youth program, offering a children ages 6 through high school a safe place for homework help, recreation, educational activities, college prep, after-school meals, and summer camps. Adults come to Hall for financial and social services, as well as an all-day senior citizen program providing two meals, socialization, exercise and community resources. Hall House serves over 900 people a day, many of whom walk over from the neighborhood. The organization often serves four generations of families the same time! What is more, they employ over 120 people, most from the immediate neighborhood.
Several years ago, the team added health services, such seeing a dentist, dental hygienist, doctor or behavioral health specialist at no charge.
Of the 80 seniors who come to the center, almost 30 rely on SNAP benefits and close to 300 families in the early learning and youth programs rely on SNAP benefits.
Your donations are greatly appreciated! Thank you.
