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.

Nothing would be possible without the support of our community and for that we are eternally grateful. At The Haven over 70% of our operating budget comes from private companies and individual donations. Using your gift carefully is how we honor our donors. We couldn’t do our important work without you, thank you!
We are only 12 days away from the Haven's 5th Annual Haven Day of Giving! Join us for 24 hours of online fundraising in support of our trauma-informed Community Service Coordinators. Service Coordination is not a job we can leave up to the volunteers as it typically requires a degree in social work, but our Service Coordinators provide vital support for members of the community who are struggling to get on their feet. Unfortunately, we are not always able to share the successful results due to privacy and confidentiality, but their impact is extraordinary.
The type of outreach work we do is critical, but expensive. Your generosity toward the Haven's Day of Giving this July 13th is crucial to our unique approach to building sound, stable futures for our community.
Help us reach our goal of $15,000 this year!

- Over 30 bags filled with a variety of spices

Wow! We express our deepest gratitude to WEX and everyone involved in this amazing donation. ❤️
Did you know in 2003 the toothbrush was chosen as the #1 invention people couldn't live without, winning over cellphones and cars?!
The toothbrush and toothpaste are two of the first items we all grab in the morning to prepare us for the day. 🦷🪥 The Haven is very low on both and would greatly appreciate support from our community. If you have any room in your budget, please consider donating toothbrushes and toothpastes to the Haven. Everyone deserves to have good hygiene! Thank you.

We are deeply grateful for our generous supporters who gave to the Upper Valley Haven during #nhgives. Each gift made during this campaign will allow us to further our mission of assisting those who are experiencing poverty to be free from hunger, to be securely housed, and to pursue a self-directed life. Though the 24-hour prize period has ended, the site will remain open for donations until midnight Friday, so you still have time if you haven't donated yet. A big thank you to all who took part in this with us! 💚 #gratitude #nhgives
#NHGives starts tomorrow! Thanks to a site-wide bonus pool of funds of $150,000, made possible by the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation and its donors, during the hours of giving tomorrow from 5pm to 5pm on Wednesday, your donation will have a larger impact.
