VHFA elves stuffed 95 pairs of mittens, gloves and hats yesterday with holiday candy for children whose families are clients at Burlington’s Women Helping Battered Women office. 

Thanks to the VHFA staff, partners and friends whose donations made this year’s Mitten Drive such a success!

Reprinted from the Valley News on 12/11/2013 , by David Corriveau: 

Every time the bitter knife of a breeze snuffed a candle on the front lawn of The Upper Valley Haven last night, a staff member, a supporter, or a guest of the homeless shelter turned to his or her neighbor and re-lit the flame.

Vermont’s “difficult to develop” areas under the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit provisions have been revised to include all counties with the exception of Addison, Orleans, Caledonia and Essex for 2014.

There’s still time to help the annual VHFA mitten drive reach its goal.   This year, mittens and gloves carefully stuffed with holiday candy by VHFA staff will be donated to Burlington's Women Helping Battered Women office.
