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.

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.

Net Zero Energy - Walk to Shop

The 'Walk to Shop' trolley program is an initiative of Net Zero Vermont. The program encourages everyone to consider walking and riding public transit more often for short trips instead of always driving – saving money, improving health and reducing pollution. Your change will help them to contribute to more vibrant, walkable communities with fewer cars – places where we all want to live, work and play. Using a trolley is a great way to get your groceries home with ease.
