Car Donation Drop-off Day is coming up!

We are preparing for Car Donation Drop-off Day on December 30. Volunteer Craig Bethiaume came in an help create the yard signs that we will be posting around Chittenden County. Thanks Craig!

I am still looking for volunteers to bake cookies to give to car donors when they drop off their car donation. Are there any bakers out there willing to lend a hand?

Seventh Generation is a Great Company!

A few months a go, a recipient arrived to pick up her car. She had a child with her that needed a diaper change. She reached in her diaper bag and discovered she did not have any dipers with her. On that day we decided to set up a nice changing area here with all the products a parent would need.

We posted a list of things that we needed to make this happen and contacted Seventh Generation. A women in Essex donated the changing table and Seventh Generation donated packs of every size diaper they make and many boxes of wipes.


Zoey, the girl pictured here, is the first person to benefit from these gifts. She and her parents appreciated the donations.
