SCHIP, the popular non-profit resale store in Shelburne Village, announced the Fall 2024 grants. $44,000 was awarded to fifteen local nonprofits that met the grant eligibility criteria.

SCHIP is an acronym for Shelburne, Charlotte, and Hinesburg Interfaith Projects, a nonprofit organization that raises funds by selling locally donated gently used clothing, household items, jewelry, and art. The funds raised are distributed in the form of grants twice a year to eligible organizations primarily serving the communities of Hinesburg, Shelburne, and Charlotte. SCHIP has been active since 2003, distributing over $960,000 in grants locally. For more information on grant eligibility and criteria, please visit SCHIP’s website at www.theschip.org or email [email protected]

SCHIP wishes to thank its regular and new shoppers, as well as everyone who donates gently used clothing, household goods, art, and jewelry. All donations are carefully sorted, appraised, and distributed to its store in Shelburne Village for resale. Thank you also goes to the dedicated employees, volunteers, and board members, without whom none of the impact on the community would be possible. 

You can continue supporting SCHIP and the community by donating goods, shopping at their store, or volunteering your time to this worthy cause.
