We would like to thank Burlington Subaru for their 11th year of support to Feeding Champlain Valley through Subaru of America’s annual Share the Love event.
Their ongoing commitment to fighting hunger in our community makes a real difference. For every new Subaru sold or leased between November 21 and January 2, Subaru will donate $250 to a charity of the buyer’s choice — and Burlington Subaru has once again chosen to support Feeding Champlain Valley.
This year, they raised $47,188 and helped provide thousands of meals to Vermonters facing hunger. Thank you again to Burlington Subaru for their dedication and support throughout the years.
Two 5th graders from Shoreham Elementary School conducted independent research on food insecurity and talked to Sadie Bloch, Food Coordinator for Addison County, about the work Feeding Champlain Valley does to alleviate hunger and provide nutritious and healthy food to our clients. Here are some snippets from their interview!
How can food production be more equitable/accessible to all?
Many avenues and methods; there are so many people and organizations going about ways to help people get engaged with the food system. For example, building community gardens in food deserts, starting food co-ops, urban farming, school gardens,and small-scale farms. Food literacy as well, engaging people with the food system and minimizing the distance between people and food sources. EG. showing people how food is grown, processed, and distributed into homes. The environmental and social, and economic impact of food education as well. There are so many obstacles to engaging people with food and getting high-quality food into people’s homes. We must also acknowledge people’s backgrounds and lives, and get the important food to people.
