South Burlington has supported Pure Barre Vermont for over a decade, and joining the SB3C feels like the most natural extension of that relationship.

This is an incredibly exciting time for South Burlington with so many great things going on and I want to be part of it!

I can see it in the small things people are doing - making amazing gardens, decorating their homes with lights and holiday festivity and so many other neighborly gestures of goodwill.”

  • “Since connecting with SB3C and meeting Sophia, and even after attending just one event, we have already met an incredible number of residents and local business owners we likely would not have crossed paths with otherwise. What this organization provides is truly a gem and an invaluable resource for South Burlington. Sophia’s leadership and the work of SB3C play a critical role in bringing together business owners and residents to strengthen our local economy, especially for small, locally owned businesses that do not have the resources of larger corporations. We are grateful this organization exists and look forward to staying involved and supporting SB3C in any way we can.”
