SHARING THE BOUNTY
WITH OUR COMMUNITY
Back Road’s annual giving focuses specifically on the youth in our small community ~ Brattleboro, Vermont.
We
currently sponsor five creative and well-established programs.
NECCA
(New England Center For Circus Arts)
NECCA (New England Center for Circus Arts) offers scholarships for children in need to develop new skills & gain self-confidence in a safe, fun and supportive environment.
In their own words:
“The New England Center for Circus Arts is a non-profit circus school based in Brattleboro, Vermont ~ committed to providing access to circus arts instruction to anyone who is interested in what circus has to offer them ~ regardless of their ability to pay.”
VERMONT PARKS FOREVER
Vermont Parks Forever is committed to enhancing and protecting Vermont’s state parks by inspiring stewardship of natural places, providing educational experiences, and improving access for those who would otherwise be unable to experience all the benefits the state parks have to offer.
In their own words:
“We collaborate with Vermont residents, park visitors, businesses, community organizations, and state government to improve the parks for the benefit of residents and visitors alike.”
THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB
The Boys & Girls Club has been operating for many years, right in the heart of our downtown. It’s a safe place to learn and grow ~ all while having fun. Kids from 6 to 18 have an easily accessible space to ‘hang’ after school every weekday. There is a myriad of activities, from poetry and art classes and their own inside skate park. Back Roads Granola has proudly sponsored the GOING THE DISTANCE fundraising event since 2021.
In their own words:
“When young people walk through our doors, they enter a place where their opinions are valued, their identity is accepted, their actions are useful and appreciated, and their own influence can be used to create an environment that meets their needs.”
THE VERMONT FOODBANK
The Vermont Foodbank mission is to gather and share quality food and nurture partnerships so that no one in Vermont will go hungry.
