ABOUT
Vermont Everyone Eats is funded by the federal Coronavirus Relief Fund and made possible through a grant provided by the Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development to Southeastern Vermont Community Action.
ShiftMeals and the Intervale Center have partnered to serve the Everyone Eats Program in Chittenden County as well as Healthy Roots in Franklin / Grand Isle, and Capstone Community Action in Central VT (Washington, Lamoille, Orange counties).
HOW IT WORKS
Restaurants are paid to prepare nutritionally balanced meals for those impacted by COVID-19 by using 10% of VT products. Organizations work with Everyone Eats to request meals, or individuals can request meals. Individuals can both pick-up meals at public distribution spots or request meals to-go from restaurants through the Digital Voucher program. To find out where to get a meal, or how to sign up for the Digital Voucher program, learn more below!
WHO IS THIS PROGRAM FOR?
Everyone Eats is a program for “everyone” negatively impacted by COVID-19. You are eligible to receive meals if COVID-19 has made it harder to get food or you are experiencing food insecurity. Help yourself, help your community!
