COVER's mission is to foster hope and build community in the Upper Valley by bringing together homeowners and volunteers to complete urgently needed home repairs for low-income homeowners, many of whom are elderly and/or disabled.

COVER grew from a collaboration between Dartmouth College students, other community volunteers, and a Bates College graduate who wanted to complete home repair projects that would benefit families and individuals with low incomes.The volunteers recognized need in the community and COVER began to fill the void.
