Lunch Tray Campaign & Hike for Hunger

City Market's annual "Lunch Tray Campaign," a fundraiser to support Hunger Free Vermont's child nutrition programs, begins Friday, September 5 and runs through Sunday, September 14. Customers will have the opportunity to give a suggested donation of $1 to Hunger Free Vermont and sign a paper “lunch tray” that reads “I Fed a Child”. The cards will be on display in the store to show Co-op patrons’ support for ending childhood hunger in Vermont.

Hunger Free Vermont is a statewide organization dedicated to ending hunger and malnutrition by providing nutrition education and expanding access to programs that feed Vermont’s children, families, and seniors. All donations from the City Market Lunch Tray campaign will directly support Hunger Free Vermont’s child nutrition outreach and advocacy.

City Market is also sponsoring Hunger Free Vermont's annual Hike for Hunger, Saturday, September 27 at Catamount Outdoor Family Center in Williston, VT.  This annual fundraising event gives participants the option to hike a 1.5 mile loop or a 3 mile loop. Participants will warm up before the hike with Evolution Yoga and will celebrate completing the hike with wood-fired pizza and other treats, live music, t-shirts, and more.  The top fundraiser will win delicious local produce from Intervale Community Farm and Intervale Food Hub, including an assortment of vegetables, meat and more!
