VRmont Studios

💚 BIG thank you to the Springfield Food Co-op for including BRIC in their amazing Change for Change community program this June! 💚

When you shop at the Co-op this month, you can round up your purchase at the register to support BRIC’s STEAM education programs, summer camps, and professional development opportunities for teachers right here in our community.

We’re super grateful for the support - and for local businesses that believe in investing in creativity, innovation, and opportunity for the next generation. 🚀

So grab some groceries, treat yourself to something yummy, and maybe toss a few extra cents toward a great cause while you’re at it. 🥰

Thank you, Springfield Food Co-op, and thank YOU to everyone helping make meaningful change happen locally. 💫
