WEST BRATTLEBORO — The West Brattleboro Association has been awarded $2,000 from the Thomas Thompson Trust.
This award will support the Association's Neighborhoods Project, formed more than four years ago to strengthen neighborhood ties in the West Brattleboro area. The funds will be used to provide seed money and material support for volunteer efforts to bring neighbors together in ways appropriate to each neighborhood.
Thanks to this program, West Brattleboro neighborhoods have been able to fund gardens, flower beds, field trips, senior meals, tree plantings, and outdoor cinema events.
The Association is an all-volunteer Vermont and federal nonprofit with a 12-year history of working to re-establish a sense of identity in West Brattleboro and to promote the thoughtful evolution of the community of West Brattleboro as a place that is safe, healthy, attractive, and prosperous.
