Help Feed Our Neighbors at Nov 8 Turkey Drive at City Market
This holiday season, Feeding Champlain Valley expects to receive more than 40,000 visits to their food shelves for groceries, requests for food delivery, visits for a hot meal, and emergency calls during times of crisis. According to Hunger Free Vermont, 2 out of every 5 Vermonters experience hunger and 40% of our Vermonter neighbors experience hunger daily.
Feeding Champlain Valley, the largest direct service emergency food provider in Vermont, is calling on you to help feed 10,000 families and neighbors before the end of the year. On November 8, shoppers can purchase a turkey at either City Market location for $25 to support our neighbors in need this holiday season.
Feeding Champlain Valley is a program of the Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity (CVOEO) that serves 14,500 people annually through food access programs. For 50 years, FCV has worked to address hunger through innovative programs rooted in compassion, dignity, and inclusivity. The organization is also a frequent recipient of City Market’s Rally for Change program.
Buying a turkey will help feed your neighbors experiencing food insecurity.
