800lbs of Food Collected For Food Shelf this Summer

City Market customers helped to donate 273lbs of food to the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf at the second of three Fill a Truck for Hunger food drives. That's in addition to the 530lbs collected in June.

The Vermont Foodbank was on hand at the Co-op to collect food from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 5. A variety of non-perishable food items were collected and donated to the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf. 

City Market and the Vermont Foodbank plan to hold one more Fill a Truck for Hunger events on October 1.

Non-perishable food items that are most needed: tuna fish, peanut butter, cereal, meals in a box (mac & cheese, hamburger helper, etc.), canned fruit, canned vegetables, pet food, diapers, and baby food.
