Because of your generous donation to the Stratton Community Foundation's Head-to-Toe Program, children and families across southern Vermont will receive more than clothing and supplies—they will receive dignity, confidence, and hope.

Basic necessities are at the heart of our work because when children have what they need, families are better able to build stability and look toward a brighter future. By helping fill critical gaps, your support prevents families from falling deeper into poverty while giving children the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed.

Your gift helps provide children with winter coats, snow pants, boots, warm clothing, backpacks filled with school supplies, sneakers, dental kits, and other essentials they need throughout the year. These items help children feel warm, confident, included, and ready to learn.

Your generosity also supports basic necessities that extend far beyond clothing:

School showers provide children living without reliable access to running water with a safe place to maintain personal hygiene.
Washers and dryers in schools ensure students have access to clean clothing, promoting their health, safety, confidence, and readiness to learn.
Diapers, laundry supplies, and personal hygiene products are distributed through food pantries, preschools, and community partners, helping families meet their most fundamental needs.

Thank you for making a meaningful impact in the lives of local children and families. Your compassion provides comfort today while creating opportunities for a healthier, brighter tomorrow.
