HOPE

<p><strong>HOPE is a nonprofit poverty relief organization that assists 3,000 low-income people each year. Our mission is to improve the lives of low income people in Addison County, Vermont, by working with individuals to identify and secure the resources needed to meet their own basic needs. We operate the largest food shelf in the county, and also provide assistance with other critical basic needs including heat, utilities, housing, warm clothing, medicines, and more. HOPE's Holiday Shop is a seasonal opportunity for low-income parents to choose a few new toys or gifts for their children to enjoy at the holidays. The Shop is a festive and welcoming place, and helps parents avoid making the difficult decision of whether to pay for a critical bill such as rent, heat or electricity or to purchase holiday gifts for their children. The Mitten Drive will make warm, waterproof mittens and gloves available at the Holiday Shop for children so that they can safely be outdoors during cold weather.  </strong></p>
