Hunger

Foodshare also continues to supply food to partner food pantries and meal programs. Donate at http://site.foodshare.org/site/PageServer?pagename=coronavirus |
 | VERMONT FOODBANK - www.vtfoodbank.org The Vermont Foodbank created the COVID-19 hunger Relief Fund. Not everyone has the financial stability to stock up on the two weeks of food needed for quarantine. Kids are home from school, businesses are closing, many friends and neighbors are out of work or isolated at home. You can help make sure that pantries are filled and that people are prepared to take good care of themselves and their loved ones. It is more important than ever to ensure that anyone in Vermont who needs a meal can get one.
