Northern Tier Center for Health (NOTCH) offers free cooking and nutrition education programs throughout the Franklin County at various partner locations including housing sites, public libraries and agency offices. They use an adaptation of the SNAP-Ed program, Healthy for Life®, which was developed by the American Heart Association and Aramark.
This wonderful program focuses on heart-healthy and budget-friendly cooking and shopping strategies. The classes takes place monthly at the Richford Health Center where participants often prepare larger batches of the heart-healthy recipes from our lessons to share with the Richford Food Shelf.
"This has been a great way to introduce community members accessing the Richford Food Shelf to low-cost, delicious, nourishing meals that are easy to prepare at home" said Miranda Henry, Community Services Manager at NOTCH. "Many of the recipes include pantry staples such as beans and canned vegetables, providing food shelf visitors with new ideas for using the ingredients that they have on hand or can access from the food shelf."
The Addison Food Hub has been operational since February, providing essential food access to community members in Addison County. Since its opening, the hub has played a vital role in distributing fresh produce, shelf-stable items, and culturally relevant foods to ensure families have access to nutritious meals.
“The stakes are low here, we are here to help you get food” said Sadie Bloch, Food Distribution Coordinator at the Addison Food Hub. “Ever since switching over to PantrySoft, the process of signing up new visitors has gone a lot smoother; it`s made intake more efficient and organized, allowing us to spend more time connecting with our clients and better understanding their needs."
If you live in the Middlebury area and want to sign up for groceries, visit the Addison Food Hub at 616 Exchange Street, Suite 1, Middlebury, VT, Mon–Fri, 10 AM – 3:30 PM.
