It's that time of year again when I look forward the brighter and warmer days of spring and summer.   I'm also drawn to the mission of COTS, thinking of our neighbors with no place to be comfortable, warm or feel safe.  Some are happy to have survived the harshest days of winter.   

COTS is the largest provider of help for the homeless in Vermont but it doesn't just run shelters but engages with those in need to help in averting homelessness by financial education, help in finding homes and connecting with other needed services.  There is a Day station for drop ins for showers, lunch, laundry and services.  

This is my fundraising link....

You may contribute there.   If you don't like donating online you may send a check to MADE OUT TO COTS  to St. Catherine of Siena, POB 70, Shelburne, Vt 05482 as I am captain of that team.  Every dollar we raise from the walk goes directly to services with the generous gift of Walk expenses paid by other benefactors.   Want to join our team?  We'd be happy to see you....you will see that on the link above.  ​
