Food Sourcing
Our food comes from our partnerships with the Vermont Foodbank, benefit events, Project Feed the Thousands, businesses, farms, support from area schools, individual donors and growers. We purchase food and personal care products whenever necessary, to make sure the essentials are on our shelves. It is humbling how well the surrounding community supports its Foodshelf, for which we are thankful!
