At Junta for Progressive Action, we recognize that meeting basic needs is the first step toward stability and dignity for every family. Our Essential Needs Bank provides critical support to the Hispanic and immigrant communities of Greater New Haven, ensuring individuals and families have access to necessities that promote well-being and security.
Why This Matters
The rising cost of living and systemic inequities make it difficult for many families to afford these basic items. Junta’s Essential Needs Bank bridges that gap, providing relief and stability for families in times of need.
