CIDER FOR A CAUSE
Cider for a Cause is an exciting new extension of our Good Neighbor Community Fund.
We’ve asked each department here at Stowe Cider to pick a few local organizations, non-profits, or charities that they are passionate about and would like to support.
Beginning January, 2022 and for every month throughout the year we will be donating $1 from each crowler sold in our taproom to one of these chosen charities, with 12 unique organizations receiving donations over the course of the year. Below are the causes we have been proud to partner with so far.
OUR IMPACT SO FAR
JANUARY
Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sports is committed to empowering individuals with disabilities. They promote independence and further equality through access and instruction to sports and recreational activities. They believe sports and recreation provide a physical, mental and social experience that is immeasurable in promoting self-confidence and independence in an individual.

Clarina Howard Nichols Center’s mission is to end domestic and sexual violence in Lamoille County.

Vermont Garden Network encourages, supports, and sustains a statewide network of gardens where people live, learn and work. They teach people how to start and grow gardens at home, in school and in their communities; train garden leaders and educators to maintain these spaces; connect gardeners to resources – and most importantly, to each other; and provide garden and nutrition education to children and adults across Vermont.

Little Bellas is a mountain bike organization, whose goal is to help young women reach their fullest potential. They aim to create a community to empower women through cycling, accent the importance of goals and a healthy lifestyle, and emphasize a positive female bond. While this program is centered around creating a female camaraderie on bikes, it is most importantly about having fun in a constructive environment. During an average program day, Little Bellas girls spend between 2-8 hours outside, during a time when the average child spends 17x more time on screens than outdoors.
