💚Let's hear it for Vernon Trails, the co-op's Give Where You Live (GWYL) recipient for June!🚲☀
In June, co-op shoppers can round up at the registers to support Vernon Trails in its mission to expand access and build community in the Driftless Region.
About Vernon Trails:
Vernon Trails is a volunteer-run nonprofit dedicated to building and maintaining multi-use trails and supporting human-powered recreation throughout the Driftless. If you have hiked, biked or played disc golf in the area, chances are, you have experienced the work of Vernon Trails. Find trail maps and more at: https://vernontrails.com/
GWYL is Viroqua Food Co-op's community giving program. Each fall, local schools and non-profits are nominated and voted on by co-op member-owners for next year's line-up. Each recipient receives a donation made up of register round-ups, the co-op's 1% donation of third Wednesday sales, and cash collected at the register during their designated month. Through the generous support of co-op owners and shoppers, we donated over $46,000 to local non-profits through GWYL in FY2025.
Thank you for rounding up, and THANK YOU to Vernon Trails for the good work you do in our community!
