Hope for Housing…Help us give the comforts of home to families
experiencing homelessness!
Everyone deserves a safe home they know is theirs. Families moving from homelessness to permanent housing need your help today! Help us provide the comforts of home to families in need by donating NEW basic housewares.
Your contribution will help families with children gain the tools they need to move from homelessness into stable housing. Help us to help families overcome homelessness by donating NEW basic household goods, bedding, linens and dishes, or make a cash donation at:

Useful strategies from Prevent Child Abuse Vermont to give parents and caregivers options when things are stressful.💛Physical punishment—an adult’s use of physical force (e.g., corporal punishment, spanking, paddling) to punish a child or correct a child’s inappropriate behavior— increases aggression in young children and is ineffective in teaching a child responsibility and self-control. Substantial evidence shows negative long-term outcomes for children who are disciplined through corporal punishment. In fact, findings indicate that children who are physically punished (i.e., spanked) have similarly negative outcomes to children that are physically abused. This helpful one-page identifies a number of strategies to promote positive parenting and discipline strategies that do not include hitting or the physical use of force with children. www.pcavt.org/parents-corner
