Winter Community Outreach

FREE JACKETS & BOOTS
January 12-13, 2026

 

HLSA provided free jackets and boots to the community last January 12–13, distributing nearly 150 items to share warmth during the cold season.

Just as our sponsors show love and support to HLSA, we make it our mission to extend that same love back to the community. Through this outreach, we continue to stand with those in need, offering not only clothing but also hope, care, and a reminder that no one is alone.

Together, with the generosity of our sponsors and the commitment of HLSA—we are building a stronger, warmer, and more united community.

HLSA proudly joins the Black Business Expo—an opportunity to share our mission with the wider community.

By being present, we not only celebrate Black excellence and entrepreneurship but also let families know that HLSA is here to empower children through soccer, education, and mentorship. Together, we build pathways for success both on and off the field

SUMMER OF SOCCER

Summer of Soccer is a huge campaign, and HLSA is honored to be part of it.

By partnering with the City of Hartford and local organizations, we are helping bring the world’s game home to our community.

Our founder, Kenniel Martin, proudly supports this initiative,
showing that HLSA’s mission is not only about soccer—it’s about unity, opportunity, and community impact.
