Hunger Mountain Co-op Awards Over
$15,000 in Community Grants
Hunger Mountain Co-op has awarded a
record-setting $15,200 to 15 local grant recipients
working on important and innovative
projects addressing food access and local
food systems.
Hunger Mountain Co-op’s purpose is deeply
rooted in the belief that access to good food
helps to create vibrant, healthy communities
and sustainable local food systems. Each year,
the Co-op encourages central Vermont businesses,
organizations, and initiatives aligned
with its mission to apply for grants from the
Hunger Mountain Cooperative Community
Fund. The focus of funding is on smaller proposals
for one-time expenditures, capital infrastructure
needs, food access projects, and
proposals from historically and currently marginalized
groups.
“This year, the grant recipients include BI-
POC farms in the local community. Khelcom
Farm and The Flying Buffalo LLC will be
getting money to help expand farm production,”
shared Claire Wheeler, Co-op member
and Chair of the Community Fund Committee.
“It’s one of the many ways the Co-op
works to address gaps in the food system and
help lift up a really strong and healthy vibrant
local economy.”
This year’s community grant recipients
are Barre Senior Center, Bethany Church,
Enough Ministries, Good Samaritan Haven,
Greater Northfield Seniors, Green Acres Affordable
Housing, Ishtar Collective, Khelcom
Farm, Maquam Bay of Missisquoi Inc., Milk
With Dignity Standards Council, Montpelier
Senior Activity Center, Onion River Food
Shelf, Schoolhouse Farm, The Flying Buffalo
LLC, and Twin Valley Senior Center.
Since its inception, the Co-op’s Community
Fund has awarded over $96,000 through
84 community grants. This level of continued
support would not be possible without partners
like Twin Pines Cooperative Community
Fund, Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund, and
the generosity of the Co-op’s members.
Five decades ago, a small group of central
Vermonters came together to access the food
and products that were not readily available
in our area. Thanks to years of hard work
and collaboration, Hunger Mountain Co-op
has much to celebrate in its 50th year, with
milestones of over $27 million in gross sales,
10,655 member-owners, 387 Vermont vendors,
187 employees, and over $80,00 given
back through donations and sponsorships.
Hunger Mountain Cooperative exists to
create and sustain a vibrant community of
healthy individuals, sustainable local food
systems, and thriving cooperative commerce.
12th Annual Charity Sale, Lenny’s Shoe &
Apparel $27,248 Raised to Fight Hunger
On Saturday, October 22nd, locals shopped
till they dropped, and raised more than
$27,000 to fight hunger in our area
During the 12th annual Charity Sale, Lenny’s
Shoe & Apparel and customers collectively
raised $27,248 for the Vermont Foodbank
and JCEO Plattsburgh Foodshelf.
“During the past year 2 in 5 people in Vermont
have experienced food insecurity – an
increase since 2021,” said John Sayles, CEO
of the Vermont Foodbank. “At this moment,
households are being challenged on all sides
by high prices and shrinking pandemic-era
support programs. Addressing this continuing
crisis takes all of us working together. We
continue to be grateful for partnerships focused
on making sure that all of our neighbors
• • •
have the food they need and want.”
For the month of October, Lenny’s customers
were encouraged to make a $10 donation
to the Vermont Foodbank or JCEO Plattsburgh
Foodshelf in exchange for a custom
canvas tote bag and exclusive access to the
storewide sale. 100% of the donations collected
went directly to the non-profit organizations.
“This has been our biggest Charity Sale in
12 years!” said Mark McCarthy, Co-Owner of
Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel. “We and our customers
are committed to making a difference
in the lives of our neighbors. To date, we have
donated over $222,000 to take action against
food insecurity in our area.”
