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.
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.
Slash Your Trash
In April, we encourage our co-op community to join our Slash Your Trash campaign. As individuals, we can all take steps to reduce our waste and collectively make a bigger impact.
We’d like to thank all our shoppers who participated in 2023’s Slash Your Trash campaign. We had 209 pledge card submissions to take actions such as selecting local or organic products whenever available, choosing reusable containers and bags when possible and recycling things like wine corks, batteries and can carriers. While our individual actions can sometimes feel small, when we act together it can make a big difference. We at the Co-op are committed to continuing our efforts to reduce our impact year-round, and we hope you will join us.
