TO MEET THE NEEDS OF PEOPLE IN THE SHELBURNE, VERMONT COMMUNITY WHO ARE STRUGGLING WITH FOOD ACCESS AND INSECURITY.
WE DISTRIBUTE FOOD TO THE FOOD INSECURE IN THE SHELBURNE, VERMONT COMMUNITY. THERE ARE FOUR DISTRIBUTION DAYS PER MONTH. HISTORICALLY, THESE HAVE BEEN PICK-UP DAYS. WITH THE EMERGENCE OF COVID-19, DISTRIBUTION CHANGED TO THE DELIVERY OF PRE-PACKAGED BAGS TO EACH SHOPPER'S ADDRESS. IN FEBRUARY 2020 THERE WERE FORTY-THREE SHOPPERS AND BY JUNE THE VOLUME HAD INCREASED BY 140% TO ONE HUNDRED AND SIX SHOPPERS.THE FOOD SHELF CONTINUES TO WORK WITH THE LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT (CVSDVT) THROUGH OUR "FOOD THAT'S IN WHEN SCHOOL IS OUT" PROGRAM WHICH TYPICALLY SERVES BETWEEN THIRTY-FIVE AND FIFTY CHILDREN. DURING THE PANDEMIC THE SCHOOL DISTRICT CONTINUED TO PROVIDE PICK-UP LUNCHES. IN ORDER TO HELP FAMILIES WITH NON-SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN WHO ALSO RELY ON THE GROCERIES AVAILABLE THROUGH THE "FOOD THAT'S IN WHEN SCHOOL IS OUT", THE FOOD SHELF CONTINUED ITS PROGRAM PROVIDING BREAKFAST AND LUNCH STAPLES AND FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FOR PICK-UP AT THE SCHOOL.PRIOR TO GOVERNOR SCOTT'S EMERGENCY DECLARATION TO DELAY EVICTIONS AND UTILITY SHUTOFFS, FUNDS WERE PROVIDED FOR THE CRITICAL SITUATIONS THAT OUR CLIENTS FACED INCLUDING ASSISTANCE WITH HOUSING (FOUR), EMERGENCY HEATING (FOUR), UTILITIES (THREE) AND VEHICLE REPAIR (ONE). AS A RESULT OF THE SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED BY THE FOOD SHELF FROM THE COMMUNITY'S REACTION TO THE FINANCIAL DISTRESS OF MANY OF THE FOOD SHELF PARTICIPANTS, ONE-TIME CASH BENEFITS WERE PROVIDED TO SIXTY-ONE FAMILIES TO HELP WITH RENT OR UTILITIES.WE EDUCATE THE GENERAL PUBLIC ABOUT THE ISSUES SURROUNDING FOOD INSECURITY THROUGH OUTREACH PROGRAMS, NEWSPAPER ARTICLES, AND FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES IN THE SHELBURNE COMMUNITY.
