A letter from Green Mountain Coffee:

On Friday, September 16, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc., Cabot Creamery Cooperative, and other Vermont businesses are coming together to host an Irene Flood Relief concert event at Higher Ground in Burlington. Our goal is to raise funds to help those affected by Irene and to celebrate our community strength and spirit. The concert features energetic afro-indie pop band Rubblebucket, returning to Vermont for one last 2011 concert to help the Vermont community, and Latin jazz and salsa dance band Ritmo Masacote. In addition, the event will spotlight the companies and nonprofit organizations who have been involved in relief efforts.

Tickets are $10 each, with proceeds benefitting the Vermont Foodbank. Tickets are now on sale — please click here to purchase.

We hope that you can join us! If you can’t join, please help by spreading the word, or by making a donation to the Vermont Foodbank by texting FOODNOW to 52000.
