More Hope and Help for the New Year - Vermont Foodbank Weighs in

This is the second in our series of post-holiday comments from our nonprofit food bank partners.

“Vermonters have stepped up in a big way to support the work of the Vermont Foodbank this holiday season, and we could not be more grateful for this. Yet we ask you to please remember that hunger is a year-round problem in our communities. Nearly 40% of the Vermont Foodbank’s clients cite having to choose between paying for food and paying for utilities and heating fuel. Twenty-eight percent report choosing between paying for food and paying for medicine and medical care. With your assistance we can ease the financial burden for those we serve by helping them to provide healthy meals for their families.” - John Sayles, CEO, Vermont Foodbank.
