<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\nOur History<\/b><\/h2>\n
On December 27, 2017, the temperatures dipped to – 8 degrees fahrenheit, with highs for the day predicted to be only 5 degrees above zero. Recognizing the life or death situation facing Vermonters without shelter, Father Rick Swanson of St. John\u2019s in the Mountains opened the doors of the church to anyone needing refuge from the cold. For the next two months, the interfaith community operated a \u201ctraveling shelter,\u201d rotating between St. John\u2019s in Stowe, the United Church of Johnson, the Jewish Community of Greater Stowe, and the Second Congregational Church in Hyde Park.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n
Their incredible effort to serve people experiencing homelessness was the spark that ignited an outpouring of community support, and eventually led to the opening of the Lamoille Community House. More than 150 volunteers showed up that winter, offering warm meals, blankets, and most importantly, hope and dignity to our neighbors in need.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n
On March 1, 2018, in partnership with Lamoille County Sheriff Roger Marcoux, the Lamoille Community House opened the \u201cyellow house\u201d in Hyde Park, a fully staffed, seasonal shelter for adults without homes.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”|-50px||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
