Stafford Students Help With VAC Housing Project for Homeless
On June 7th and 8th, students from Stafford Technical Center’s Hospitality and Entrepreneurship Program, helped clean up a house that is part of a Vermont Achievement Center initiative called “The Warm Quilt Project”. This project which is coordinated by VAC’s Community School Support Coordinator, Michelle Larose-Mangan, hopes to address some of the homeless needs within Rutland County. VAC owns two houses that will be utilized for housing for homeless families. They are working alongside other community partners like Easter Seals, Eckherd, Women’s Network, RutlandCounty Housing Coalition, and BROC. The Stafford students embraced this project with great enthusiasm and worked very hard to help create a place for families to stay where they are safe and comfortable.
