When recent flooding caused significant damage to a small business in Vermont, the community stepped in to help immediately record breaking rainfall flooded the store Onion River outdoors in the town of Montpelier, overwhelmed by the amount of work to be done. Owners, Jen and Kip Roberts posted on social media asking for volunteers to help to clean up this wrecked shop. What happened next? They didn't expect dozens of people showed up with cleaning supplies in hand. They pressure washed mud off the walls, used pumps to siphon water out of the basement and sorted salvageable merchandise.
