Vermont Foodbank

Food Security

As a member of Feeding America, Vermont Foodbank’s mission is to gather and share quality food and nurture partnerships so that no one in Vermont will go hungry. Thousands of our neighbors struggle to meet their food needs. Each year the Vermont Foodbank and their network of partners throughout the state serve as many as 153,000 Vermonters in need of emergency food assistance

Ensuring Food Security During A Pandemic

Gathering and Sharing Quality Food

“Since the start of the pandemic,” says Vermont Foodbank CEO John Sayles, “1 in 3 Vermont residents have experienced hunger — which is unprecedented. We are extremely grateful to the Blue Trident Foundation for their matching pledge, which will result in a combined total of $50,000 in donations toward the fight against hunger in Vermont. With more people turning to charitable food for support than we’ve seen in the history of our organization, this gift will go a long way toward providing food for all of our communities across the state.”
