Community Toolkit
VT Fresh supports food distribution sites to incorporate strategies for improving the food environment with displays, messaging tools, simple taste tests, storage and other systems that help make it easier for food shelf visitors to access and choose fruits and vegetables. Since 2014, VT Fresh has been implemented at over 150 food shelves, meal sites, SASH sites and other food distribution sites in Vermont and has been adapted by over 20 organizations across the country. Here you will find tools and resources to implement VT Fresh at your site! Have questions about bringing VT Fresh to you community? Contact the VT Fresh team.
