Good food. Great company. Unbeatable small-town vibes.

Tucked into the rolling hills of West Townshend, VT, the West Townshend Country Store operated by the West River Community Project is where good things—and good neighbors—gather. We’re a nonprofit with a simple goal: keep the community strong, full, connected, and maybe even dancing.

We have a donation based cafe with a pay it forward program designed to help feed those in need. A thrift store full of finds you didn’t know you needed (until you do). A commercial kitchen that’s a launchpad for small business startup food dreams. And for all your shipping needs we’ve got the community’s beating heart in our Post Office.
