Vermont Business Magazine ANEW Place homeless shelter in Burlington’s Old North End has recently received a $5,000 gift from TD Charitable Foundation, the charitable giving arm of TD Bank. This gift will help to foster the 4-Phase Program at ANEW Place which was implemented in 2014 when they rebranded from Burlington Emergency Shelter. This 4-Phase Program focuses on long-term solutions and is designed to address the root causes of homelessness. With the expansion of their programming, ANEW Place continues to provide emergency care while also cultivating personal long-term growth, so that each person can make a successful, sustainable transition toward wellness and independence. They are helping homeless individuals to build a strong foundation with the tools needed to start ANEW life. ANEW Place is motivated by their desire to see an end to the cycle of homelessness in which so many adults find themselves trapped.
This gift from TD Charitable Foundation will enable ANEW Place to continue to provide their holistic and comprehensive services that allow for lives to be changed and futures to be rewritten. ANEW Place is now tripling their impact with the extension of their case management for a full three years. They aim to help their guests transition back into the community with confidence and the assurance that ANEW Place is for them and desires to see them thrive in their new home.
“The TD Charitable Foundation has a longstanding tradition of giving back and partnering with nonprofit organizations to work toward systemic change,” says Valerie Brosseau, Executive Director of ANEW Place. “We’re so pleased they have chosen to partner with ANEW Place and give homeless adults the opportunity to reconnect with the community and truly thrive!”
The TD Charitable Foundation seeks to create meaningful change and improvement in our communities and included with their gift the following statement about ANEW Place, “We believe that organizations such as yours play a significant role in sustaining vibrant and thriving communities.” ANEW Place is grateful for TD Charitable Foundation for believing that the work that ANEW Place does every day is creating meaningful change in the Burlington community.
