Giving Tuesday 2025 ~ December 2, 2025

This Giving Tuesday, Help Grace Cottage Keep Our Community Safe

Giving Tuesday falls on December 2 this year, and we’re asking for your help to make Grace Cottage’s Emergency Department safer for everyone—our patients, visitors, and the nurses and providers ready to care for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We are proud of our reputation at Grace Cottage for compassionate, personal care. That includes caring for people in crisis, and keeping them, as well as Grace Cottage staff, safe. We need your help to make a series of necessary security upgrades, including:

  • Additional security cameras in key areas
  • Shatterproof, impact-resistant glass and doors
  • Improved lockdown mechanisms for rapid response

These improvements will not change the warm and welcoming atmosphere you expect at Grace Cottage—but they will ensure greater protection for patients in their most vulnerable moments, and for the caregivers who dedicate their lives to helping the community.

Our Giving Tuesday goal is $35,000. Your gift, no matter the size, will go directly toward these vital security upgrades.

Checks payable to Grace Cottage with “Giving Tuesday” on the memo line may be sent to PO Box 1, Townshend, VT  05353. For more information, call 802-365-9109.

Together, we can create an ER that is both caring and secure.
