Feeding Chittenden eats away at food insecurity in Champlain Valley region
Read the article on vtdigger.org. Here is an excerpt:
Raspberries. Brie. Spinach. Ground turkey. Orange juice.
That eclectic mix is just a sample of Jon Brandom’s early morning grocery haul on a recent Wednesday. He was picking up for Feeding Chittenden, a hunger relief organization based in Burlington that provides meals, a market, cooking classes and more to Chittenden County residents experiencing food insecurity.
UVM researchers estimate that 40% of Vermonters experienced food insecurity in 2022. Meanwhile, Feeding Chittenden helps feed more than 12,000 people a year.“I feel like this is an answer,” Brandom said, as he criss-crossed the Burlington area in a boxy white van.
