Capstone Community Action and
VSECU Partner on Fuel Your
Neighbors to Provide Emergency
Food and Heating Assistance
Capstone Community Action and VSECU (Vermont State
Employees Credit Union) have teamed up again this winter to
launch Fuel Your Neighbors, an initiative to support emergency
food and heating assistance for vulnerable central
Vermont households.
Winter is a tough time for thousands of Vermonters.
Families often must choose between necessities like food and
heat. Children and seniors are the most vulnerable to the high
costs of winter, and are the most adversely affected. This year
Capstone will work with over 5,000 people to help combat
these challenges, putting food on their table and keeping the
heat on during the cold winter months.
Capstone Community Action and VSECU are partnering on
Fuel Your Neighbors to engage the community in this important
need. Last year, in its second year, the campaign raised
$91,000, surpassing its first year tally of $67,000. This year
Fuel Your Neighbors aims to raise $100,000 over the next 100
days to help prevent Vermonters from going to sleep cold and
hungry. The initiative kicks-off on November 27, Giving
Tuesday, which is the international philanthropic day of giving.
To inspire others to take part in this effort, VSECU will
match up to $10,000 donated to the campaign, magnifying the
impact of each donation.
“This is a tremendous opportunity, thanks again to the generosity
of VSECU, to bring our community together to meet
this pressing need,” said Brian Tagliaferro, development
director of Capstone Community Action. “The early arrival of
winter has already exposed the vulnerability that many households
face. One-in-five central Vermont children don’t have
enough food to eat; which impacts their ability to thrive in
school. Forty percent (40%) of those we help with emergency
heating are seniors whose fixed income can only be stretched
so far.”
“Vermont winters can be difficult, especially for those who
can’t afford to adequately heat their homes. So it’s important
to find the bright spots during these long, dark months,” said
Rob Miller, CEO of VSECU. “Fuel Your Neighbors is one of
those bright spots. We at VSECU are proud to be part of building
a community that works together to ensure central
Vermonters are warm and well-fed this year.”
Local businesses like National Life Group and The
Alchemist are also playing a leading role in this year’s effort.
“Thankfully there’s a resource for anyone in our community
struggling with the cold bite of winter: Capstone’s Fuel
Your Neighbors program,” states Beth Rusnock, President of
the National Life Group Foundation. “Winters in Vermont are
long; let’s work together to make sure that they’re manageable
for our vulnerable neighbors.”
“We all agree that no one should go without food and fuel,”
states Chrissy Flynn, Brewery Representative for The
Alchemist. “We feel really lucky to support Capstone so they
can help our communities stay strong. Capstone’s mission
aligns really well with the values that our owners, Jen and
John Kimmich, promote and implement in their own business.”

T.W. Wood Gallery Presents Tammy
Award Winner Michael T. Jermyn’s
Aristocratic Peasants
The T.W. Wood Gallery
in Montpelier, VT announces
a live musical event on
Saturday Dec. 15, 2018,
from 1pm - 3pm. Tammy
award winner Michael T.
Jermyn’s Aristocratic
Peasants will be playing
live music in the
Contemporary Gallery.
Come enjoy quirky clever
lyrics and melodic storytelling
set to Michael
Jermyn’s soulfully haunting
voice. The band’s current
iteration includes
Ethan Ryea on lead guitar,
Micah Ball on bass, and
Sam Markewich on drums.
Michael Jermyn discovered
his love of storytelling
when he went to Co. Covan
in Ireland and happened upon Sunday afternoon pub music;
where whole families gather to listen to music. When Jermyn
learned that his Irish great aunts and uncles were storytellers
and musicians, he hit his musical stride. Indeed, Jermyn still
keeps it in the family, as his twin daughters Lucy and Abbey
Jermyn have been seen to accompany him.
The event is free and open to the public. Also enjoy an
afternoon of holiday shopping, as the gallery features pieces
by local artists and artisans. Items include cards, puzzles,
glassware, and art works. This is will be the last day to bid on
the gallery’s silent auction pieces.
Gallery hours are Tuesday-Saturday 12:00-4:00 pm and by
appointment. Special Holiday hours include Fridays 12-8 pm
for December . The Gallery is located at 46 Barre Street at the
