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.

Everyone deserves to have their basic needs met and a community is stronger when we offer a hand up to our most vulnerable neighbors.
