Looking forward to welcoming everyone to town in November!

Happy National Nonprofit Day!

An opportunity to recognize that nonprofits are far more than charitable organizations. They are community builders, problem solvers, employers, advocates, educators and trusted partners. They respond to immediate needs while also planning for the future. Here in the Northeast Kingdom, nonprofits are not only supporting collaboration but strengthening our working lands; encouraging entrepreneurs; creating housing opportunities; expanding access to healthcare; uplifting our arts, culture and recreation; and responding when disasters strike. Time and again, they are among the first to step forward and the last to leave. Read the NEK Collaborative's full op-ed at VTDigger: https://bit.ly/3U0QO3i

Thanks CommonGoodVT.org for leading the celebration as we recognize not only the organizations serving our communities, but also the staff, volunteers, board members, partners and neighbors whose dedication makes this work possible. The challenges facing rural Vermont are too great for any one organization or person to solve alone. But together we are building a more resilient and vibrant Vermont's Northeast Kingdom
