Dear Readers, There are just days left in our Warmth Support Program partnership, and right now, your gift can do double duty for Vermont. Until midnight on Dec. 25, every donation is matched dollar for dollar and helps provide two days of emergency heat to a Vermont household in need thr ough the Warmth Support Program of Vermont’s Community Action Agencies. 2X your gift and warm homes Local news helps Vermonters understand what’s changing on the local, state and federal level — and how to respond. VTDigger delivers daily and investigative news that you can rely on year round. This work takes resources, and it’s powered directly by our readers. At the same time, thousands of households in Vermont are struggling to afford basic heat right now. The community-funded Warmth Support Program of Vermont’s Community Action Agencies fills critical gaps when other fuel assistance isn’t available. Funds go directly to fuel suppliers to prevent shutoffs and keep families from running out of heat. If you’re able, please make a gift that’s meaningful to you before midnight on Dec. 25 and it will be matched! Plus it will warm homes. Double your impact Thank you for helping connect Vermonters to the information and resources we need to look out for one another this season. Sincerely, Libbie Sparadeo Director of Membership and Engagement, VTDigger P.S. If you or someone you know needs heat assistance, you can learn more about the Warmth Support Program and find contact information here. The donation to the Warmth Support Program of Vermont’s Community Action Agencies is generously underwritten by our partnership sponsor, Vermont Gas, so that 100% of your gift to VTDiggers supports our newsroom.
