COTS
COTS is Vermont’s largest provider of shelter and services to those who are homeless or marginally housed. COTS advocates for long-term solutions to end homelessness and provides emergency shelter, services, and long-term housing for people who are experiencing homelessness or are marginally housed. COTS believes in the value and dignity of every human life. That housing is a fundamental human right. That emergency shelter is not the solution to homelessness.
Volunteer Opportunities
Daystation Lunch Volunteers
A year-round need is Daystation lunch help. Help COTS provide lunch to guests visiting the Daystation, a daytime drop-in shelter for adults, open 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The Daystation is located at 95 North Avenue in Burlington. This is a great service opportunity or team-building activity. There is staff on-site to help you navigate prepping and/or serving lunch. You must be 18+ to serve, but people under 18 can help create meals for drop off.
There is detailed information about the lunch program here.
