VHFA received the President's Award from the United Way of Chittenden County.

Executive Director Sarah Carpenter accepted the award on behalf of the Agency at Wednesday night's United Way of Chittenden County Annual Meeting at the Sheraton Burlington Hotel and Conference Center in South Burlington.

VHFA has won the award a number of times over the years.  In 2005, we won the "Campaign of the Year," the United Way's top award.

The President's Award recognizes more than 80 percent employee participation in United Way fundraising, with employee giving of more than $75 per capita.

The United Way's recent fundraising drive collected $4 million.
