Farmers to Families Food Box program to continue through February

Thanks to generous community support, the Vermont Foodbank is able to extend the Farmers to Families Food Box program into January and February, independent of the USDA.

In partnership with the Abbey Group, Farmers to Families food boxes will continue to be available at multiple daily food distributions throughout the state through February.

To keep wait times to a minimum, reservations will be required for the distributions. To register and see the dates and locations, please visit humanresources.vermont.gov/food-help or call 802-476-0316 for assistance.

New distribution dates and locations will be posted regularly—please continue to check back if you do not see the location or date you are looking for. January dates will be posted soon.

Each reservation will receive one box with about 30 lbs of food, including fresh produce, dairy products, and meat.

You are welcome to pick up food for other families who are not able to make it to the pickup site, just be sure to make a separate reservation for each household you would like to pick up for. Each reservation is for one box of food.
