Morningside House has been sitting vacant since the tragic loss of our friend and colleague, Shelter Coordinator Leah Rosin-Pritchard on April 3, 2023. In a move to bring these vital shelter beds and services back to our community, Groundworks is planning to replace this old and fraught 30-bed farmhouse with a new 40-bed shelter designed for an enhanced, refined, and safer shelter program.

Groundworks’ Outreach Team launched in February and is engaging with unsheltered people in the community; facilitating service connections related to housing, and specialized health care needs, obtaining identification, and providing support with basic needs such as critical camping gear, food, and clothing, etc.

The Board of Directors of Groundworks Collaborative has announced that Libby Bennett, formerly the agency’s Director of Development & Communications, has accepted the offer to lead the organization as its new Executive Director.  

Josh Davis, Executive Director of Groundworks Collaborative for the past 11+ years, has announced that he will be leaving the organization in the coming weeks to become the Executive Director of SEVCA—Southeastern Vermont Community Action—at the start of the new year.

At Groundworks, we are steadfast in our dedication to our mission—working with people and systems to end hunger and homelessness for all people in our region—and we will not fail.  Stand with us.

As our country mourns the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others before them, we, as Groundworks Collaborative, stand in solidarity with those working tirelessly to dismantle racism and systemic inequity.
