Generous donors beat record for giving

Published: Tuesday, January 24, 2006
Vermonters dug deep in 2005 to make the Giving Season a record-breaking success. The Free Press' annual holiday season fund-raising campaign raised $70,233 this time around. That's a lot of giving.

Compare that to the first Giving Season campaign in 1994, with just over $5,000 raised. Year after year, as readers have become more aware of the campaign and how it benefits the community, they have made their Giving Season donations part of their annual gift-giving. This is greatly appreciated and will help three nonprofit agencies in their mission to provide shelter, food and warmth. "
