Material Donations

Vermont weather can be brutal for our unhoused community. Because most shelters are at and beyond capacity, we are looking for the following items to help create warming bags for those who remain unsheltered. This list also includes items regularly needed by guests at the shelter. NOTE: Please be sure any items you donate are in good condition—either new or very lightly used. Because of our limited storage capacity, we can only accept in-season apparel. Thank you!

Donation Hours

Donations can be brought to the south porch door (facing the Middlebury Inn) Monday – Friday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday by appointment.
