What We Do
Since 1980 the Upper Valley Haven has provided temporary shelter and educational programming for homeless families and adults as well as food to anyone in need.
Where People Find Hope and Discover Possibility
The Upper Valley Haven is a private nonprofit that provides support and assistance to community members struggling with poverty in Vermont and New Hampshire. We meet people where they are, address immediate needs through food and shelter, and offer longer-term solutions that foster independence and housing stability. Everyone deserves to have their basic needs met and a community is stronger when we offer a hand up to our most vulnerable neighbors.

As the temperature rises to the 90s 🥵, we want to share some local places to cool down. Lebanon has opened up both the Kilton Library in West Leb and the main library in downtown Leb as cooling centers. And VT's health department has released a map of places around the state with air conditioning or water to splash in that are open for anyone needing relief. They include the Montshire, UVAC, Hartford's Sherman Manning Pool, the Bugbee Senior Center, the Wilder Club & Library, the Quechee Library, the Hartland Library, the Norman Williams Public Library. And, of course ponds and lakes.

Our sincere gratitude to everyone who participated in our Annual Haven Day of Giving yesterday.

The Annual Haven Day of Giving is here!! Please consider donating in support of our Community Service Coordination. Haven Service Coordinators spend their days creating working partnerships with people, focusing on their strengths and the goals they have personally identified. The type of outreach work we do is critical and expensive, and cannot be done by volunteers. Your generous gift ensures that we are able to continue providing financial budgeting, housing counseling, employment support, and more to the Upper Valley community.
To make a donation and impact the lives of our neighbors, please visit https://uppervalleyhaven.org/haven-day-giving/
We're halfway to our 2022 goal of $15K, donate now! Thank you! #havendayofgiving #havenday #donate #share #linkinbio
