2025 Spring Appeal

Dear Valued Supporter,

At RuralEdge, we believe that everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to call home. For nearly forty years, we have worked tirelessly to strengthen the Northeast Kingdom by providing quality housing and fostering vibrant communities. Thanks to supporters like you, families, seniors, and individuals in our region have access to stable, affordable homes that allow them to thrive.

Yet today, our mission faces new challenges. With a changing administration in Washington, the future of funding for affordable housing programs remains uncertain. These potential shifts in policy could impact the resources available for organizations like RuralEdge — resources that are critical in addressing Vermont’s housing crisis and ensuring that our neighbors have a place to call home.

That’s why your support is more important than ever. Your generous contribution helps us:

• Develop and maintain affordable housing for families, seniors, and individuals in need.

• Provide essential services that empower residents to achieve financial stability and self-sufficiency.

• Strengthen our rural communities by fostering economic development and sustainable growth.

With your gift, we can continue to provide security and hope to those who need it most, no matter what uncertainties lie ahead. Please consider making a donation today to sustain our work and keep our communities strong.

You can give online or by mailing a check to RuralEdge at 1222 Main Street, St Johnsbury, VT 05819.
Every dollar you contribute makes a difference in the lives of our neighbors.

Thank you for standing with us in building a brighter future by strengthening Northeast Kingdom communities, one home at a time. Together, we can ensure that every Vermonter has a place to call home.

With gratitude,

Patrick Shattuck
