The Community Gifts Program uses private donations to provide concrete assistance to eligible residents at specific times throughout the year. Clients must have income below 175% of federal poverty guidelines to qualify. Referrals are accepted from all sources. Effort is made to coordinate assistance with other human service agencies to avoid duplication. Aid is provided by generous private individuals, groups, and firms. Clients are identified and assistance is issued through Department staff. Donations are overseen by an independent fiduciary and do not become Town funds.
- Campership Program: summer camp scholarships and transportation
- Boots and Shoes: Fall vouchers for back-to-school footwear
- Holiday Aid: gift and food assistance during the holidays
- Salvation Army Fund Administration: Emergency fund; employment barriers fund; child care fund; heavy
cleaning fund, and respite care fund
- To volunteer, donate funds or goods, apply, or refer someone, please call: Community Gifts Program: Alison Brush (622-3715).
