Founded in 2013, the North End Food Pantry is an all-volunteer run 501(c)(3) nonprofit located in Burlington’s New North End. Every Saturday and Sunday from 9:00am-11:00am, we provide FREE fresh produce, deli and bakery items, shelf-stable canned goods, essential personal care items including diapers and menstrual care products, and clothing for all ages, sizes, and genders, serving over 7,000 people annually. All are welcome! Guests do not have to provide ID, proof of income, or fill out paperwork. We have no paid staff and rely 100% on donations to keep our programs running.

The Intervale Center is a one-of-a-kind food systems organization. For over 35 years, they have consistently worked to support farms, enhance land stewardship, and increase community engagement. They have restored and revitalized 360 acres of land in Vermont’s most populated region as a resource for all to enjoy, while launching groundbreaking and transformative initiatives including a farm incubation program, a native tree nursery, a compost facility, and a food hub.

The Junior League of Champlain Valley (JLCV) is a charitable and educational organization of women whose mission is to advance women’s leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration, and training.  We are entirely volunteer run, and our work relies on donations from the greater community.  Last year, our members participated in over 250 hours of service within the Burlington area, which included over 400 homemade meals prepared and provided to local homeless shelters, and are well on our way to surpassing that number this year.
