Food insecurity is an experience that touches many of us over the course of our lives. In order to build a Vermont where food insecurity is no longer a daily reality, the people closest to this experience must be part of shaping the solutions.

This issue of Kernels shares stories about how Vermont Foodbank, our network, and donors are helping neighbors weather these challenges, while centering dignity, inclusion, and meaningful community relationships.

The Montpelier Community Market—a Vermont Foodbank partner—and the Central Vermont Refugee Action Network are working together, with support from you, to ensure that families have access to favorite, familiar foods in all seasons.
