"Vermont has the 2cnd highest rate of homeless people in the nation and over one third of Vermonters struggle to put food on the table. Bennington County Coalition for the Homeless simply inspired me deeply. They work every day to give people in our region a helping hand and a step up to finding their way out of the vicious cycle of homelessness."
