Slash Your Trash
As individuals, we can all take steps to reduce our waste and collectively make a bigger impact. Each April, Hunger Mountain Co-op encourages our community to reduce waste by pledging to Slash Your Trash! Thank you to everyone who joined our Slash Your Trash campaign in April of 2025! Together, we make a difference.
Bag That Bag
Bring your own bag and help your neighbors at the same time! For every reusable bag that you use, the Co-op donates five cents to the Montpelier Food Pantry. Since launching Bag That Bag in 2016, the Co-op has raised more than $65,000 and has replaced more than 1 million paper bags.
Give Change
Raise funds and awareness for a great cause! Each month, we feature a local organization at the register as our Give Change register round-up recipient. Co-op shoppers can show their support by rounding up to the nearest dollar or making a donation at the register. Co-op members may opt-in to being asked to round up at the register.
Neighbors Helping Neighbors
Every November and December, Hunger Mountain Co-op and Northfield Savings Bank team up to provide healthy meals for our neighbors in need by hosting a food and fund drive benefitting the Vermont Foodbank. In its three-year history, this program has raised $56,873.76 and collected 4,094 pounds of food for the Vermont Foodbank.
