As our season wraps up, we want to take a moment to thank everyone who joined us in supporting the North Hero Volunteer Fire Department through our First Responders Table program.

Because of your kindness and participation, we were able to donate $3,100 to the department this year. Bringing our total to $11,000 since we first launched the program. Your contributions help support the volunteers who keep our community safe, and we’re so grateful for the chance to give back together.

This tradition means a lot to our team and our owners, and it’s always inspiring to see how many of you make it part of your visits each season.

A special thank-you goes to the Rossi family, who reserved the table nearly every Friday this year—you’ve set a wonderful example of community spirit.

From all of us here, thank you for making this season so memorable. We look forward to welcoming you back next year and continuing to support the people who make North Hero such a special place.
