Over the last few years, The Melting Project has raised about $33,000 for Upper Valley Haven. This project takes jewelry donations from the community and sends them to a refiner, who then sends a check for 100 percent of the refined value. This project couldn’t be successful without the support of the Upper Valley community.

This year the goal is to send the biggest check yet to the Haven for Thanksgiving. So go through your jewelry boxes and donate the pieces you no longer wear to the Melting Project to support the Haven. It could be a ring, a necklace with a broken catch, a bangle bracelet, or anything made of white gold, yellow gold, or platinum. Drop off your donations at Designer Gold at 3 Lebanon Street in Hanover. Let’s see how much this community can donate to support the Upper Valley Haven in 2023!
