“In the back of my mind, each 15 to 35 pound box of food that I moved from conveyor belt to scale to pallet became a full belly for a Vermont child, a table laid out with a healthy meal for a family, and a package of staple food items for an older Vermonter living in a corner of our little state."

Not everyone has the luxury of stocking up on the recommended two weeks of food to prepare for the need to quarantine. And food budgets will suffer as  individuals forgo hourly wages to quarantine or face leave-without-pay if their place of employment sees a slowdown in business or must shut down.

At the Vermont Foodbank, we are laser-focused on our response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) and its implications for our community. Not everyone has the luxury of stocking up on the recommended two weeks of food to prepare for the need to quarantine. And food budgets will suffer as individuals forgo hourly wages to quarantine or face leave-without-pay if their place of employment sees a slowdown in business or must shut down. Food will be an increasingly critical need in the coming weeks and months, and we stand ready to serve.

Many people assume a connection between scrimping and going to college, and they are not entirely wrong. Ramen is often seen as a rite of passage, although this image points to a deeper issue. False stereotypes often portray a student “indulging” in cheap, instant food for convenience, or foregoing a meal to buy beer. In reality, access to healthy, affordable food is limited for many on college campuses.
