Annual Events

The Haven’s Annual Benefit Concert

An enchanting evening of soulful music to support a good cause

Since 2004, the Upper Valley Haven’s Annual Benefit Concert has drawn packed or standing-room only crowds to the Lebanon Opera House. Past performers include Richie Havens, Arlo Guthrie, John Hiatt, and Suzanne Vega.

The Shelter the Homeless Committee of Our Lady of the Snows Church in Woodstock, VT organizes this event. Because of their hard work and the generous underwriting by local businesses, this event is becoming a significant source of revenue supporting The Haven's programs.
