April is Volunteer Appreciation Month and we wanted to give our gratitude to all the amazing work they do. Volunteers are the heart of Feeding Champlain Valley, giving their time, energy, and passion to make a difference all across our community.
Whether they’re sorting and distributing food, helping at events, or lending a hand to ensure no one goes hungry, their work and dedication to our mission is amazing.
This month, we celebrate YOU—our incredible volunteers—who make our mission possible every single day.
Thank you for being the heart of Feeding Champlain Valley! Drop a comment to share your appreciation or a story about a volunteer who has made a difference!
Check out these awesome moments from the Vacation Passport Challenge at Richford and Berkshire Elementary Schools!
As part of the challenge, students teamed up with the Richford Food Shelf for a special activity— a food drive! When they visited the food shelf, they weighed their donations with a volunteer and stocked the shelves themselves. To celebrate their impact, each student received a sticker for their passport booklet!
Huge shoutout to these young changemakers for giving back to their community!
We recently had the opportunity to speak with clients at NorthWest Family Foods in St. Albans, VT, including Pat, a recent visitor to the food shelf. She shared her experience with food insecurity and the essential items she seeks when shopping.
“Everything’s been super expensive since 2020, I didn’t need to go to food shelves up until then. I usually look for meat and canned food while I’m here but sometimes there aren’t things I can always eat. I have to go to several food shelves in order to get what I need towards the end of the month, that’s when it’s the hardest.”
Protein-rich foods like meat, eggs, and dairy are essential, but they’re some of the hardest items for food shelves to keep stocked. You can make a difference by donating fresh or frozen meats, canned proteins, and other nutritious staples to NorthWest Family Foods!
Every donation helps ensure families in our community have access to the food they need.
