They called themselves Burlington Care mongers – and their presence on social media just took off.
They had people making masks; people running errands for people who had to self-isolate.
They were exceptionally well organized and effective.
Then they decided that the word “care monger” could use a little refinement and changed their name to Burlington Together. They are still exceptionally effective.

The former Chief Care monger”, Beth Martin Snook popped us a note announcing the “Grow a Row” project through the Burlington Together Facebook group
They are encouraging people to grow an extra row of food in their gardens and donate that extra harvest to the Burlington Food Bank.
Beth is prepared to help anyone who needs it with seeds or gardening advice, and will also set up a seed swap if there is interest.
