Food Security Coalition Open Letter to Legislators 9-1-20

Thank you for investing federal Coronavirus Relief Funds to support people in Vermont struggling to put food on the table. We appreciate those investments made during the summer legislative session, and want you to know they have been used well. They are an important first step in what we know will be a long road ahead to support neighbors facing economic uncertainty, farmers, and our local food system, all of which are facing unprecedented challenges because of this pandemic.

Reflecting on My Time as an AmeriCorps VISTA at VF

2020-06-02T13:55:31-04:00June 2nd, 2020|3SquaresVT, Post|

I always keep a realistic attitude about any new position I go into. When I became a part of the VT Foodbank, I wasn’t sure what circumstances I would encounter, but I was prepared for anything. Being a realist, I’m not one to gush, but I can genuinely say that serving as an AmeriCorps VISTA alongside VT Foodbank staff has been an absolute honor for me.

It was cold in Winooski at a recent VeggieVanGo distribution, and fanning out across the parking lot was the typical mix-match of Vermont spring attire: parkas and boots for some, shorts and sandals for others. That day, a sea of people in floral-print saris beneath down coats mixed with flip-flop and t-shirt-clad attendees, all of whom were there for one reason: food.

Doing Good Everyday Across America

Working towards a Vermont where no one faces hunger requires lots of helping hands and a drive to do good every day. Enter the Reed family.  “I just realized that I had four men who were about to go out and make their mark on the world and I wanted them to make it for good,” said Cynthia Reed, who along with her husband and three of their children are traveling to all 50 states and volunteering at various non-profits and organizations along the way. “You can’t know what you need to fix if you don’t know what the problems are.”
