Homelessness is an issue faced by many members of our community in Chittenden county, and in Vermont. Serve Week’s purpose is to give everyone in the area a chance to learn more about the reality of homelessness and to help out with the organizations that help homeless individuals and families. Serve Week is a great opportunity to get involved in your community and do something that will leave a lasting impact.

Our goal is to mobilize 100 volunteers and to raise $10,000 during Serve Week! There’s a volunteer opportunity for everyone – no matter your age, skillset, passion, or experience. Whether you’re signing up yourself or you have a whole group together, there’s a project for you. You can also support Serve Week by making a donation or by setting up your own personal fundraising page. Set fundraising goals, spread the word, and raise money to support this cause!
