Like all of downtown Montpelier, Everybody Wins! flooded on July 10-11, 2023. The last photo shows the current state of our workspace. Wet drywall has been cut away; the floor is still covered in flood debris; carpet, cubicles, and much of our furniture, equipment, and supplies were damaged and discarded. We did manage to save about 2/3 of our books!

This is the nerve center of Everybody Wins!, the place that makes the magic happen all across the state for children. We will keep going, but right now, we could really use your help. Will you help Everybody Wins! rebuild from the flood?

Three ways to help Everybody Wins!:

  • Donate to help us rebuild.
  • Help us spread the word via social media.

Together, we will keep kids reading—no matter what!
