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 joining the waitlist, please reach out to learn@citymarket.coop - a spot is not guaranteed, and partners are currently booked through 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.
