Gladstein Family Human Rights Institute

WAIM started in 1984 in the basement of a local church with the original intention of redistributing clothing to our neighbors in need.  Since then, we’ve grown to an organization that, along with clothing, provides furniture, appliances, linens, career clothing and emergency financial assistance to over 8,000 people each year from Windham and twelve surrounding towns.  We also manage a thriving community garden at Lauter Park in Willimantic, and provide seasonal programs to help clients make ends meet.
