Fill plates and hearts every month

You can give our community food and comfort every month.

No one deserves to go hungry. Too many of our community members have to make the impossible choice between buying medicine, affording housing, and purchasing food.

2 in 5 people in Vermont are at risk for hunger.

The good news: Your monthly gift to Feeding Champlain Valley helps feed our community, whether it is stocking our shelves with fresh food and pantry staples, delivering food boxes, or preparing hot meals.

We are 194 dedicated donors strong, filling plates and hearts every month. 🍎

“My mom was a long-time monthly donor to her food pantry in the town where she lived in upstate NY.

Her commitment to help her community inspired me and, even though she passed away over a decade ago, I like to think that part of her generosity and spirit continues on through my own giving to my community.”

–Kim Mergenthaler,
Recurring donor since 2010

“I donate to Feeding Champlain Valley because I want to help combat food insecurity in our community.

It is my belief that no one should go hungry.”

–Cait Hoffman,
Recurring donor since 2021

“I’ve worked in food media for more than 20 years, building a career around something I truly love—food and cooking. Because of that, food access is a cause that’s deeply personal to me.

When I was a child, there were times when my family didn’t have enough money for food, and we relied on our local food shelf to help meet our needs. That experience has stayed with me, and being able to support an organization that provides that same kind of help to families in our community means a great deal to me.”
