The Haven relies overwhelmingly upon support from the community to carry out its mission. Support comes in a myriad of ways, including financial donations, volunteer time, and donations of food and clothing.
Over 70% of the Haven’s revenues come directly from individuals who make donations by check, credit card, or gifts of stock. We couldn’t do it without you. Thank you!
Make a tax-deductible contribution by mailing your check to the Upper Valley Haven, 713 Hartford Avenue, White River Junction, VT 05001.
From your bank account, through a Bill Pay system or online. You can set up these payment options with your bank or other Bill Pay programs.
Pledges that can be paid over time can be made to the Haven. Please consider a stretch gift that you can pay over the course of two or more years. Your pledge commitment allows us to know that we will have funding beyond the current year. If you’d like to make a pledge, please write a note with your intentions and send it to us, or contact Laura Gillespie, Director of Development & Communications.
