Our new and updated Food and Fund Drive Toolkit is available for all individuals and organizations to use over the holiday season!

Food drives play a vital role in fighting hunger and strengthening our communities. By collecting non-perishable items, it ensures that our food shelves and meal programs can continue supporting neighbors who are struggling to make ends meet.

For thousands of Vermonters, a federal government shutdown means more than just gridlock in Washington – it means real uncertainty about paychecks, food benefits, and access to the programs they rely on to get by.
2 in 5 people in Vermont are facing hunger right now. A prolonged shutdown will make an already difficult situation worse:

Families, older Vermonters, and people with disabilities could face interruptions to essential nutrition programs like 3SquaresVT (SNAP) and WIC if funding lapses.
Federal workers and contractors in our communities, including military members, custodial staff at federal buildings, and more, face missed paychecks.
Food shelves and meal sites across the state are already stretched thin, working to meet high demand with limited resources, and this pressure will continue to rise as the shutdown continues.

You can make a difference. Give now to help families facing hunger through the shutdown and beyond: https://cvoeo.donorsupport.co/-/XSZBDYWE
