As winter approaches, a new community-led initiative aims to ensure that there are open doors to anyone who needs a warm and welcoming overnight shelter. You are invited to a free Soup Supper on Thursday, November 6, from 5:30–7:00 p.m. at Beloved Community Church, 18 Town Crier Drive, Brattleboro.
The supper will offer a chance to hear from Steering Committee members about the project and what support is still needed from the community.
Initial setup costs for the shelter are funded by the State of Vermont’s Extreme Cold Weather Shelter Program (ECWSP). The ECWSP grant will also cover staffing and operating costs for 20 of the coldest nights this winter. However, the Beloved Shelter, named for its host site at Beloved Community Church, aims to remain open every night from December 1 to March 30. Additional funding and community support will be critical to meeting this goal.
