United Way of Lamoille County and the local
RSVP/The Volunteer Center coordinated church
volunteers from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania to
assist us with a Ramp Building Project. Puffer
Church in Morrisville offered space for the group

interior doorway widening project with funding

the United Way of Lamoille County and the Agency
of Human Services.

Our 5th annual Community Food Drive collected 2.5
tons of food for our 4 local food shelves. We
were also able to start a small food shelf at the

is a joint venture of our United Way and the
United States Postal Service. Special thanks to
our local postal carriers for all their hard work!

local non-profit agencies and pharmacies. These
cards allow for up to a 20 discount on
