Flooding this summer inundated homes, roads, and farms in Plainfield. The Co-Op expansion was in the works well before the disaster, but the timing of the closing on August 7 is a much-needed bright spot.?

It's fitting on 8/02 day to come together to support the needs of our neighbors. We're honored to do so with our partners at Vermont Public. Your gift isn’t just the money we raise together – it's about the act of connecting and making sure our fellow Vermonters know that we're all looking out for each other. To give, please visit vtfloodresponse.org Thank you.

Amid Recurring Vermont Flooding, Vermont Needs You In light of the recent devastating floods in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, our community's resilience is being tested once again. Towns like St. Johnsbury and Lyndon have been hit hard, adding to the ongoing challenges from the July flooding of '23 and '24. Our VT Flood Response & Recovery Fund is actively helping those affected. Please read our President Dan Smith's latest blog for a detailed update on our efforts and how you can support. We can do more when we do it together. https://lnkd.in/eQ_wF5jr
