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. The Foodshelf is deeply grateful for the support it receives from the surrounding community!
