One hundred percent of the funds raised will go to provide employment skills and opportunities for underserved youth in Windsor and Windham counties. Too many youth never have an opportunity to learn the skills needed to obtain and maintain employment. This results in a significant challenge for them once they reach adulthood and need to earn a living, all according to HCRS. Providing these youth with employment experience, giving them skills, a sense of responsibility, and a solid work ethic, will help ensure their successful future.
Founded in 1967, HCRS is a nonprofit community mental health agency serving Vermonters in Windham and Windsor counties, serving more than 4,000 individuals every year through its mental health, substance abuse, and developmental disabilities programs. The Agency provides holistic care for clients, supporting them with employment, housing, transportation, and other social service needs.

ReplyDeleteJeez, Anonymous 4:34 AM... even fundraising brings out ugly political feelings in you? The article states that 100% of the proceeds go to "provide employment skills and opportunities for underserved youth in Windsor and Windham counties," not just Springfield.
ReplyDeletenope just sick of non profits using our town. we subsidize every single 1 of them. why do you think property taxes are so high. because we have to cover their share. their are over 6000 non profits in this state and we wonder why our taxes are sky high.
