City Market’s Rally for Change Program Hits $1 million, Benefits Feeding Chittenden
(VTDigger) Burlington, VT –
City Market is excited to share that in September, they surpassed $1 Million in donations through the Rally for Change program since it launched in October, 2014.
Rally for Change allows members and customers to “round up” to the nearest dollar when they check-out at City Market. At the end of each month, 50% of those funds get donated to Feeding Chittenden (previously Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf), 40% to an organization that aligns with their Global Ends, and 10% to a local non-profit. 77 individual non-profit partners have benefited from these funds over the past five years helping to support the growth of community gardens, increase access to healthy food, preserve farmland, and so much more.
