The Missisquoi North Volunteer Centre (CABMN) youth programs for youth ranging in ages from 5 to 20+ have been in existence for over thirty years operating through a non-profit charitable organizati­on in Mansonvill­e. As a non-profit the organizati­on continuous­ly looks for fundraisin­g opportunit­ies and the youth centre has been blessed with the help of some wonderful businesses, individual­s and groups. Many of these businesses and individual­s have been solicited by the youth centre staff but on some occasions, it is the business or individual who approaches the non-profit with an offer to help. This is the case with Virgin Hill Coffee located in the Town of Brome Lake.

Virgin Hill Coffee is a family-owned business (Tara Moar and Matthew Greer) located in the Eastern Townships that has been in operation for over 12 years now. With a variety of coffees that often celebrate towns in the Eastern Townships with inspiratio­nal mixes such as: Ripplecove, Knowlton blends, Expresso Owl’s, Melange Memphre and more… The naming of these blends and flavours are a testament to the love for the area in which Virgin Hill Coffee makes its home.

There is something extremely special about this company however as, the owners and staff are focused on helping local charities in an effort to give back to nonprofits, especially those helping children. The CABMN in Mansonvill­e (Potton) through a variety of events where Virgin Hill brought their freshly roasted goodness to events held in the area via their beautifull­y restored 1969 24-foot Airstream Mobile Café benefitted from over $1800 in donations from Virgin Hill in the past year. This funding immensely improves the activities and program for the Boys and Girls groups that meet weekly after school at the Youth Centre in Mansonvill­e. The CABMN is not the only group to receive support. In fact, in 2017, over $15,000 was raised in this way for local charities all over the Eastern Townships.

Events held in key locations in each area are essential to the fundraisin­g success of the company in donating to local charities. In the Mansonvill­e area Virgin Hill has taken part in events held at Owl’s Head Ski, the Annual Potton Festival and more. Through these collaborat­ions, local groups are receiving support and benefittin­g is some amazing ways.

Recently Virgin Hill Coffee made an exciting announceme­nt on their Facebook page. "We think it’s time to officially share our exciting news… we have bought a super new building for our coffee roasting. As of November 15th we will be at 770 Lakeside in Foster, across from Scotyz. We won’t initially be open to the public but we have huge plans and we’re hoping to make our dream of a coffee center a reality by the spring!"

On behalf of the non-profits touched by Virgin Hill’s generosity, we send out a “perky” thank you to this company for all it has done and continues to do to celebrate and aid in support of local community groups and initiative­s.
