BROC assists with 3SquaresVT applications

RUTLAND—BROC-Community Action, located at 45 Union St. in Rutland (west of the railroad tracks) is offering information about the 3SquaresVT program and personalized assistance with applications. Staff are ready to help new users sign up for this benefit and access healthful meals.
3SquaresVT is an important nutrition program that provides benefits based upon income, expenses and the number of people in each household. It helps recipients pay for all types of food so they can follow a balanced diet, including vegetables, dairy products, protein and grains.
Many people are eligible for this benefit but have not yet applied, including senior citizens, students, families with children and singles — applicants can receive benefits even if they work, and own a home and/or a car.
To make an appointment, call 802-775-0878.
