Get Involved
Eager to make a positive impact in your community? Consider taking part in one of our many exciting programs at the Co-op. Throughout the year, the Co-op offers a range of opportunities for community members to get involved and give back.
Hunger Mountain Cooperative Community Fund
Since 2011, the HMCCF has distributed 109 grants totaling $141,667 to our central Vermont community, focusing its efforts on supporting small, diverse, local initiatives with grants designed to accomplish specific outcomes. These funds would not have been possible without the generosity of our member-owners and shoppers, who contribute to the fund. Look for grant applications in May.
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 $110,000 and has replaced more than 2.2 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 history, this program has raised $107,801 and collected 5,104 pounds of food for the Vermont Foodbank.
