We are excited to be the Featured Food Provider of the Month at PS It Matters! Our CEO, John Sayles, sat down with the folks from PS IT Matters to answer “10 Things You Need to Know About the Vermont Foodbank.” Check out the interview HERE.
In addition to being featured on the homepage of PS It Matter’s website for the month of April, online shoppers are also able to directly donate 15% of their purchased items to the Vermont Foodbank. Remember, the Vermont Foodbank can help create 60 meals for every $10 donated!
“Justice” feels like a big word these days, no matter what word precedes it: food, health, racial, economic, migrant, equal . . . I could go on. In digging into the meaning of “justice,” I am left unsatisfied because the definitions and descriptions feel subjective and kind of squishy.
For the first time in a long time, I’m feeling optimistic. The American Rescue Plan Act (ARP), passed by Congress and signed on March 11 by President Biden, brings much needed support to families hit hard economically by the pandemic.
As we wake up to another morning of news about demonstrations across the country, it’s time for all of us to make sure our voices are raised for racial justice. As CEO for the Vermont Foodbank my “lane” is hunger and food security.
