Helping Our Community Thrive – Our Spring Appeal
We are delighted to share with you Helping Our Community Thrive, a short film about Howard Center's mission and the work we do in our communities each and every day, https://youtu.be/EZa23cuyYMI. It highlights several of the more than 50 programs we offer and how our staff are providing vital, lifesaving services for our friends and neighbors. Now more than ever, as many Vermonters experience the lasting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are working steadfastly to meet the growing need for mental health, substance use, and developmental services. As we begin our annual spring appeal, we hope you'll consider a donation today to Howard Center to help us meet the increasing needs of our community as we strive to ensure that Help is here. Please visit Howard Center https://howardcenter.org/community-education/howard-center-giving/ to make a gift.
