Committee on Temporary Shelter (COTS) Walk

On May 7, 2023, about 12 Mercy Associates and Sisters of Mercy from the Vermont area participated in the annual COTS walk in Burlington, Vermont.  The COTS walk is an annual fundraising event to support the Committee on Temporary Shelter (COTS), an agency that provides shelter and transition services for homeless persons and families and those at risk of homelessness.  Sister of Mercy Lucille Bonvouloir (d.2020) helped to establish COTS in 1988 and was executive director for eight years.  The Sisters of Mercy and Associates continue to support the work and mission of COTS.
