CRT’s overall purpose is to prepare communities to meet life’s challenges. The Community Renewal Team Inc. was founded in 1963 an anti-poverty agency serving people and families throughout the Connecticut River Valley. Child Care, Meals on Wheels, supportive housing and shelter, and many other CRT programs give people the skills and the resources to become self-sufficient and to thrive. In 1999, the Community Renewal Team of Greater Hartford Inc. merged with Community Action for Greater Middlesex County to form the Community Renewal Team Inc. CRT now runs major programs in 75 Connecticut towns, including Meals on Wheels, Early Childcare & Education, homebuyer and energy assistance, nutrition, veteran, senior and youth services. ½ Pint Low-fat Milk; Whole Milk Quarts – plastic bottle with handle; Sour Cream – 5lb container; Lactaid – quart (This is a no substitute item)
