When it comes to improving food shelf operations, sometimes there's no substitute for rolling up your sleeves. Three Foodbank partners recently took on major space challenges, using a combination of creativity, teamwork, and good old-fashioned heavy lifting.

Eight food access partners recently met to discuss their growth over the past year. This cohort has collaborated, shared learnings, and invested in their organizations’ capacity through a Vermont Foodbank grant made possible by your support.
