Dear Caring Community,

From Brattleboro to Bennington and more, Irene has had a devastating impact on families and property in our Southern Vermont communities. The national news has documented the realities of the storm's impact. The damage and loss of homes is probably the most dramatic for our area familes!

We prepared and waited, but who could have anticipated the magnitude of the destruction to our roadways, bridges, and homes? Neighborhoods watched as pieces of our community were washed away by rising raging rivers and massive flooding.

Many of our community members are still without power, some have taken refuge in local shelters, and many are housing friends and neighbors who are not able to get back to their homes or have a home to go back to. Our neighbors are destined to face considerable financial hardship.

None of the towns in our area were spared and are now stranded islands in the midst of mountains. The Stratton Foundation has established the Disaster Relief Fund to specifically raise money to help these families recover from sudden and dramatic loss. Please consider your support today. Many Stratton area families are affected!

100% of donations will go to the relief fund.

To donate manpower or volunteer please contact: Neighborhood Connections in Londonderry at 824-4343

Supplies and Donations can be dropped off at Stratton Sports located in the baselodge at the courtyard of the Stratton Resort.
