The Burlington Business Association (BBA) is pleased to announce that in partnership with JSkis it raised over $750 for the Elmwood Shelter Pods at its recent “Winter in Vermont” Winter Social. 

At the BBA’s Winter Social Event, BBA and host sponsor JSkis included a fundraiser to benefit the Elmwood Shelter Community. Participants entered a raffle, with donated prizes that included a pair of JSkis and products from JSkis, Ski the East, and Homeport. The raffle raised $775 which will be used to purchase supplies for outfitting the shelter community from local businesses.

The Elmwood Shelter Community opened this month and provides temporary housing and services for our neighbors experiencing houselessness.
