Dear Friend of the Foodbank,
If you haven’t had a chance to help hungry families in Vermont this holiday season, there is still time.
Your gift today will help fill hungry tummies and put smiles on the faces of those who desperately need our help this holiday season. There are children in Vermont who are longing for a nutritious meal, a snack, or just that tonight won’t be yet another night when they go to bed with stomachs aching from hunger.
There are children in Vermont who just want enough to eat.
Your past support has brought joy to families across Vermont. But we need the support of the full community to fight hunger every day – not just during the holiday season. Your gift can do so much:
- With every $25 donated, we can provide enough food for 75 meals.
- With every $50 donated, we can provide enough food for 150 meals.
- With every $100 donated, we can provide enough food for 300 meals!
The gift you give will change someone’s life – please give as generously as you can.
With warm wishes for a joyful holiday season,
John Sayles
Chief Executive Officer
“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.
