🐐 Why We Chose GOAT Collaborative for our St. Patty’s Giveaway…
You may have heard us mention GOAT Collaborative, but many people are still asking… who are they and what do they do?
The GOAT Collaborative is a Marion-based nonprofit built around one simple idea:
Stronger communities start with people working together.
Their mission is to connect people to their land, their food, and each other while supporting local farmers, nonprofits, and small businesses across Western North Carolina.
They recently made their very first charitable donation — $2,500 to Foothills Food Hub, helping strengthen our local food system and improve access to fresh food for families right here in McDowell County.
And that’s just the beginning.
GOAT Collaborative is working to build programs and events that support:
🌱 Local agriculture
🥕 Food security
🤝 Community partnerships
💧 Responsible stewardship of our natural resources
In other words… they’re investing directly into the future of our community.
That’s exactly the kind of organization we want to stand beside.
So for our St. Patty’s Giveaway, every raffle ticket purchased isn’t just another entry to win a CoolPeel, Custom Facial with Shannon, or a 60-minute massage…
🍀 It’s also helping support GOAT Collaborative and the work they’re doing right here in Marion.
