The Northeast Kingdom Collaborative's mission is to improve the quality of life for all residents of the NEK through coordinated economic and community development. The organization has created a COVID-19 page on its website that includes resource lists organized by categories such as food access and financial support, a toolkit for establishing a community response, and a list of "10 Things You Can Do to Help the NEK Thru COVID-19". 

In addition, the NEK Collaborative has collected stories from communities throughout the Northeast Kingdom highlighting unique town projects that "demonstrate just how innovative and resilient the NEK really is." We encourage you to read and be inspired!

We believe that doing so is fundamental to the long term resilience of Vermont communities as we come out of this pandemic and face the years ahead."
