Did an unexpected car payment set you back on rent? Are you going through a job loss and can’t pay for groceries? Can you no longer afford adequate childcare? Does it just feel impossible to catch up on bills?

The HUB is here for you.

We are an innovative community relief organization, supported by strong local partnerships. Our aim is to provide you with a sense of security in a crisis by arranging short-term financial aid towards rent, childcare, heating, car payments and other necessities while you assess your next steps. The HUB’s trained case advocates will also put you in touch with additional resources, such as local, state and regional programs to ensure your continued progress toward financial stability.

The HUB seeks to eliminate that gap and reduce overwhelm caused by amassing bills.

By streamlining funds directly to landlords, utility companies and the like, the applicant is given the opportunity to catch their breath and evaluate their finances. No longer will they be forced to cancel childcare or decrease their grocery list for the week. In catching a payment early, a cascade of building expenses is avoided.

The HUB continues its work with families and individuals even after they are served with short-term financial aid. Our confidential case advocates strategize with applicants in forging a long-term plan of action through additional relief organizations.

The HUB collaborates with many local organizations, such as Ottauquechee Health Foundation, Barnard Helping Hands, Bridgewater Neighbors Helping Neighbors, Faulkner Fund, Pivotal Steps, and Plymouth Memory Tree.

Since its formation in 2022, The HUB has delivered aid in response to both personal and community crises. When catastrophic floods hit Vermont in the summer of 2023, The HUB was ready to respond. As donations began to amass, case advocates, service providers, and volunteers banded together to meet the needs of community members whose livelihood and safety were impacted by flooding.

In our first year, with both general relief and flood-related aid, The HUB distributed grants to 245 individuals and families across seven Vermont towns, demonstrating not only the great need for crisis-based relief, but also showcasing the significant generosity of the Woodstock area community.

Fundraising efforts to secure funds through 2026 are underway. and we’re always looking for more support at any level. Private foundations and donors have contributed to The HUB Gap Fund to help pay fuel bills, housing costs, childcare, or car repair bills for individuals and families in need when other local organizations can't.

Your donation can make the difference between disaster and relief.
