Our 2023 Annual Report is here! Thanks to your incredible generosity, together we've made an impact across the state, from flood recovery efforts to supporting vital community programs. Let’s keep the momentum going and continue making Vermont a place where everyone can thrive. #GiveWhereYourHeartLives

Flooding this summer inundated homes, roads, and farms in Plainfield. The Co-Op expansion was in the works well before the disaster, but the timing of the closing on August 7 is a much-needed bright spot. 

It's fitting on 8/02 day to come together to support the needs of our neighbors. We're honored to do so with our partners at Vermont Public. Your gift isn’t just the money we raise together – it's about the act of connecting and making sure our fellow Vermonters know that we're all looking out for each other. To give, please visit vtfloodresponse.org Thank you.

Amid Recurring Vermont Flooding, Vermont Needs You In light of the recent devastating floods in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, our community's resilience is being tested once again. Towns like St. Johnsbury and Lyndon have been hit hard, adding to the ongoing challenges from the July flooding of '23 and '24. Our VT Flood Response & Recovery Fund is actively helping those affected. Please read our President Dan Smith's latest blog for a detailed update on our efforts and how you can support. We can do more when we do it together. https://lnkd.in/eQ_wF5jr

Our work means we think a lot about Vermont communities and the idea of place—where we've been and are going. Naturally, that means we think a lot about the democratic process and our civic life as Vermonters. There's a saying, "The moments that turn acquaintances into friends." These moments build a connection so that we do so constructively when we disagree. It's so important to create space for those moments to happen, especially in these divided times. The 7D Brand Studio has beautifully captured some Vermont communities coming together to create those moments—moments made possible by giving. They inspired us, and we hope they inspire you. https://lnkd.in/e6T2-tmE

Our hearts go out to everyone affected by last night's rains in Vermont, especially as we mark the first anniversary of the devastating July '23 flooding. Our team is assembling this morning to determine our next steps. In the meantime, the VT Flood Response & Recovery Fund is open and ready to provide the support needed to help our community. classy.org/give/501142/ Please stay safe, especially as the rivers continue to rise in some areas throughout the day.
