Vermont has an incredibly high unhoused population, mostly due to a mixture of mental illness, unaffordable housing, and a lack of housing. This is a dangerous combination for the vulnerable members of our community.
Drop-off locations can be found at the Rec Center and at the Sports Center. Please consider donating, but if you can't donate, share and spread the word!
