Neighborhood Connections Londonderry, VTCAFC utilizes a committee to process all financial applications. The committee meets with an individual and discusses need, financial status, household situation, and any additional community organizations assisting the household. Documentation must accompany all requests and no funds are paid directly to the individual. Payments are made only to the creditor providing basic services, such as utilities, landlords, car repair businesses, medical needs, heating oil companies, etc. If a community member resides in the Andover Londonderry area, funds are granted to Neighborhood Connections, which then completes the same activity and provides funds for individuals in need to the vendors.$13,602
