September's Change for Local Non-Profits
In light of the recent devastation across our state from Tropical Storm Irene, September's reusable bag donations will go to the Vermont Disaster Relief Fund. For each bag you reuse at the Co-op, we’ll donate 5 cents to relief efforts. Created by the United Ways of Vermont in cooperation with the Vermont Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster and Vermont Emergency Management, the fund is used specifically for long term recovery. Expenditures from the fund will be used 100% for the unmet long term needs of those affected by Irene. For more information on the Vermont Disaster Relief Fund, or to donate directly, go to www.vermont211.org.
Last month, we raised $1,168.95 for the South End Arts and Business Association (SEABA), just in time for their annual Art Hop.
