Capstone’s Fuel Your Neighbors campaign, presented by EastRise, is an annual 100-day initiative to raise funds for our emergency food and heating assistance programs. This year’s campaign goal is $325,000.
Head Start at Capstone Community Action has multiple openings in Lamoille, Washington, and Orange counties, which provides services for families with young children and pregnant individuals. We also help support you in your next steps in life, the caregiver of the child or pregnant individual, with connections to social, health, housing, food services, and much more.
Sign up for our FREE workshop sessions with Rosie Gray and Mary Johnson to learn about managing your money and/or starting your own business. New sessions start on January 8, 2025.

Capstone financial coach, Mary Johnson (left), recently supported Diana* through a complex point in her life. A single mom of two teenagers, without a car, and living in a motel due to a recent eviction, Diana was simultaneously fired from her job and diagnosed with cancer. Mary helped her enroll in Reach Up and improve her financial skills, and worked with Diana for a year in individual meetings and classes.
Fast forward to today, Diana has a new job, is paying down debt and starting to improve her credit score. Most importantly, she is excited to restart her life with greater stability and independence! *Note: Name has been changed to protect privacy.
Together, we can make these stories of a community that cares a reality. Your donation empowers our neighbors to build security in the face of adversity.
