Our mission is to build community in Wheelock, to encourage neighbors to get to know and trust one another. We seek to create economic and social opportunities for all residents, including elders, families, working people, and non-residents, to develop a vibrant town.

It's back, just like in 2023! Bring non-perishable food and new toys to Wheelock Town Hall Dec 3, 4, and 5. Help support the Sheffield Food Pantry  that serves Wheelock, Sheffield, and Newark residents. Checks are also appreciated - enabling the Pantry to purchase food at a discount through Vermont Foodbank.  Write your check to Sheffield Food Pantry, PO Box 36, Sheffield VT 05866.

It was a success for the Sheffield Food Pantry, serving Wheelock, Sheffield, and Newark! Thanks to everyone who brought food to Wheelock Town Hall in October, we delivered 12 cartons of donations to the pantry on Nov. 11. The Pantry also received $410 in checks, enabling the purchase of more food at a discount through Vermont Foodbank.

Help support the Sheffield Food Pantry! It serves Wheelock, Sheffield, and Newark. Bring non-perishables to Wheelock Town Hall June 18-20 & 25-27. Hours are Tues & Thurs 8:30am - 3pm and Wed 10:30am - 5pm. A financial donation will help the Pantry make purchases at a substantial discount from the VT Foodbank. Write your check to Sheffield Food Pantry, PO Box 36, Sheffield VT 05866.

Thanks to all households who participated in this annual event at the town green on June 15, 2024. Your support helps us support Wheelock Community Initiative Projects!

We deliver welcome baskets to new, year-round residents and sympathy baskets to the families of recently deceased Wheelock residents.  

Wheelock’s Little Library at Town Hall is monitored and frequently restocked.  Feel free to come and bring or take a book or a game. 

​

Do you have a cabinet you could donate for a second Little Library or the skills to build one? We have a place in mind! The cabinet must be no wider than exactly 28 inches.  

With support from an AARP mini-grant in 2023, we conducted a walkability audit along Rte. 122 in Wheelock village. The route is a busy, east-west connector between Rtes. 5, 16 and Interstate 89. No safe pathways, and traffic speeds above the posted 35 mph signs make it unsafe for walking and force residents to drive within the village. Thank you to the Town of Wheelock for serving as our fiscal sponsor. Read more. 

We worked alongside the Town of Wheelock with Vermont Council on Rural Development Community Visit Program on the Wheelock’s Future forums in 2020. Read the Wheelock report here.
