Mission of the Month: Lamoille Community House

The Lamoille Community House provides shelter and services to people experiencing homelessness in Lamoille Valley. We provide safe spaces to support people in their journeys towards stable housing. With beds, warm meals, access to laundry, toiletries, clothing and other supplies, we make sure to meet our guests' basic needs, in addition to connecting them to housing case management and referrals to support for other identified needs. LCH is open 24/7 365 days per year, and our most consistent need is meals for our guests. We provide a hot dinner every night and rely on our community members to provide those meals.

Please consider becoming a dinner provider to ensure our guests have nutritious home cooked meals.

Sign up here to bring a meal to the shelter. 

If a meal is not something you're able to do, we are always happy to accept monetary donations, you can do so by visiting lamoilleshelter.org/donate.

Our Mission Moment will be on February 18th with Kim Anetsberger, Executive Director coming to speak.
