| Brattleboro Area Hospice addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of dying neighbors and their families. They provide non-medical assistance to the terminally ill and their loved ones, bereavement services to Hospice families as well as the general public, and serve as a community resource on the issues of death, dying, and grieving.
They are an independent, community-based, non-profit volunteer hospice organization that provides grassroots, volunteer-staffed programs to supplement and provide alternatives to the professional services utilized by dying and grieving community members. All of their services are free of charge to anyone living in Southeastern Vermont or bordering New Hampshire towns. Funds will be used to support the Hospice Care Program, which oversees the daily assistance that volunteers provide to people who are dying, who are homebound, or live in assisted living or nursing care homes.

Each month, we offer support to non-profits to extend our cooperative’s work and meet our Ends Policies.

The Brattleboro Food Co-op Ends policies are governance policies reflecting Shareholder values and formulated by the Co-op’s Board of Directors. These seven Ends state the purposes of the Brattleboro Food Co-op – what we are trying to accomplish as an organization:
To be considered for this program, a candidate organization must be a tax-exempt non-profit, support community members in Windham County, and have no political or religious affiliations. Please complete the following web form to apply.
