Rally for Change

How it Works

Anytime you check out at City Market, you can choose to round up your total to the nearest dollar. Each month, we support Feeding Chittenden and other organizations working to strengthen our community. With roughly 4,000 transactions each day across both stores, we all have the opportunity to rally for community-wide change.

Partner Applications

Rally for Change applications have closed as of August 31, 2025. If you are interested in learning more, please reach out to learn@citymarket.coop - as of now our partners are currently booked through November of 2027.

Six people in winter coats stand in a row in front of a painted mural. The mural features a mountain on the left and a lake on the right. The second and fourth people from the left each hold an oversized check. The leftmost check is made out to COTS. The rightmost check is made out to the Intervale Center.

This Month's Rally for Change Partners

February's 40% PARTNER

Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont (NOFA-VT)

The Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont (NOFA-VT) was founded in 1971 by a group of farmers looking to rebuild alternatives to industrial, unsustainable agriculture. Today, NOFA-VT works with folks at all points in the food system to move towards an economically viable, ecologically sound, and socially just Vermont agricultural system that benefits all living things. We provide services for farmers, foster connections within the food system, and build power around farming as a critical issue in the movement for a thriving, just, climate-resilient future.
