Dear Friends,

Scout Troops 658 and 3752 have joined up to help raise funds for some of the most vulnerable in our community. We have accepted the Challenge to raise $1500.00 for COTS (Committee on Temporary Shelter) as part of this year’s Virtual COTS Walk.

We are asking you to Please support the COTS walk by making a donation today at http://give.cotsonline.org/goto/Troops658_3752

COTS is Vermont’s largest provider of services for Vermonters who are homeless, at risk of becoming homeless, or marginally housed. The focus at COTS is on finding solutions to END homelessness — not simply creating shelters for people who are experiencing homelessness.

This year, due to the COVID-19 crisis your support is more critical than ever. Our homeless neighbors are especially vulnerable — many of our guests in shelter are elderly or have compromised immune systems. You cannot shelter at home when you are homeless. Even if you can self-quarantine in a shelter, you are still in very close proximity to other shelter guests, often several to a room in bunk beds.

We are proud to help and "walk" for COTS this year — as they work to provide shelter, services, and support to our most vulnerable families and individuals during this difficult crisis.
More information about COTS and the Virtual COTS Walk is available at www.cotsonline.org.

Thanks to the Walk sponsors, EVERY DOLLAR raised through the COTS Walk supports shelter and services for families and individuals in crisis.

Please support us in raising money for this organization! You can write a check, give cash, or donate on line using this link http://give.cotsonline.org/goto/Troops658_3752

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure.

Many thanks for your support — and please forward this to others who might want to donate, too!

Sincerely,
Al Belluche
Troop 658 and Troop 3752 Community Outreach Committee Member
