Kindness, Patience And Partnership will Get Us Through

Together we are facing challenges we could have never predicted. The global COVID-19 pandemic affected all of our families, our businesses, our communities, and our way of life. Over the past years we’ve spoken with many of our clients to check in and find out what this experience is like for them. After hearing our clients’ stories and concerns our team felt inspired to take action for you, your family and your community.

Air Hugs,

Greg Hammond and Scott Iles

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.

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.
