Although we look for ways to give back to the community throughout the year, VHFA staff have stepped things up a bit during the holiday season.
The first of the agency's recent efforts was a Thanksgiving food drive for the Chittenden County Emergency Food Shelf. A total of 120 pounds of food, ranging from frozen turkeys to canned goods, was donated by the staff.
It's time for VHFA's annual mitten drive for Burlington's King Street Center and we need your help. Donations of new mittens, gloves, hats, or scarves to our office on the corner of King and St.
VHFA received the President’s Award from the United Way of Chittenden County.
VHFA has won the award a number of times over the years. In 2005, we won the “Campaign of the Year,” the United Way’s top award.
Burlington's Committee on Temporary Shelter (COTS) is holding its annual COTS Walk fundraiser Sunday.
VHFA's 2010 Mitten Drive was the subject of a piece on WVNY-TV Channel 22 and Fox44-TV last night.

VHFA is again participating in the Lund Family Center's Holiday Giving Program.
As part of the program, the Agency "adopts" a young family in need, and staff members donate items to help assure the family has gifts for the holidays.
VHFA will donate a pair of mittens stuffed with candy to Burlington’s King Street Center for every new fan that joins the Agency’s Facebook page through Wednesday, Dec. 15.
We'll be collecting non-perishable food goods at the Nov. 18 Vermont Statewide Housing Conference.
For the second year, VHFA participated in the Lund Family Center's "Adopt-a-Family" program.
Staff members donated gifts and household staples to benefit an area family in need.
