In addition to directly donating mittens, gloves or hats for the Sara Holbrook Youth Center, there's another way to help. For every new fan that joins our Facebook page, VHFA will donate a pair of mittens! Facebook users can visit the VHFA page, and become fans by clicking the “Like” button at the top of the page.
Donations of new mittens and gloves to our office on the corner of King and St. Paul Streets in Burlington are heartily welcome any time before Monday, December 15. Waterproof gloves and mittens are especially appreciated. VHFA staff will stuff each donated item with candy in time to have them distributed to the children before the holidays.
The Sara Holbrook Youth Center served 51 preschool and elementary children and 600 teens through playgroups and direct advocacy. Thoughout their various community programs, the Sara Holbrook Youth Center helped over 650 children.
