The Columbus House family consists of over 90 full and part time employees, advisors, collaborative partner agencies, corporate and community leaders, a dedicated board of directors and hundreds of volunteers from throughout the New Haven region.

32 religious, civic and corporate groups serve the evening meal at the Boulevard site and Men's Seasonal Overflow Shelter. These groups are vital to our operation saving Columbus House over $125,000 annually in food and staff costs. Many have been doing this since we first opened in 1982. They are an extension of our staff and we couldn't manage the meals without them. For a complete list of those groups who have faithfully prepared meals for our clients, please click here ».
