Vermont Catholic Charities "Giving Tree Campaign" Needs Your Support

Campaign for Needy Short of Goal

The Vermont Catholic Charities annual Giving Tree Campaign for the needy is under way and unfortunately under goal. VCC is asking for $27,000 to meet the needs of many Vermonters who count on their help. Contributions to date only total nearly $14,000.

Campaign Coordinator, Jean Bailey says, “We hope our generous past supporters will find a way to help us meet our goal again this year, in spite of these very difficult financial times. Please call me if you have any questions or concerns.”

Donations can be sent to: “VCC Giving Tree”, PO Box 989, Burlington, Vermont 05402-0989. For questions or more information, please call (802) 658-6111, or visit the diocesan website homepage at www.vermontcatholic.org and click on the “VCC Advent Giving Campaign” link.
