Have you heard?! We're so excited that thanks to generous community support, we will be back to working directly with local Vermont farmers and the Vermont Foodbank to keep the Vermont Farmers to Families program going! As of right now, this will run from January through February and is completely independent from the federal USDA program.
To keep wait times to a minimum, reservations are 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.
Each reservation will receive 1 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.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.

Thank you to the Vermont Foodbank for their tireless efforts, pandemic or not. And thank you Peter Welch for being an advocate for your fellow Vermonters and for the extra hands on the front lines. We appreciate the shoutout! ... See MoreSee Less
