Shelburne Food Shelf

We distribute Food to the Food insecure in the Shelburne, Vermont community. There are six distribution days per month serving on average more than 131 households each month over the past year, mostly through in-person shopping. We also offered Food delivery to those unable to come to the Food Shelf in person as well as emergency grants for assistance with non-food needs. The Food Shelf continues to work with the local school district (cvsdvt) through our "Food that's in when school is out." The program provided 75-100 children breakfast and lunch staples, fruits, and fresh vegetables for pick-up at school. It also served 35-55 children during the summer special shop at the Food Shelf and harbor place locations. In additon. The Food Shelf provided Shelburne community school with a grant to purchase snacks for children throughout the school year.our partnership with the faith community in town keeps the tiny pantry stocked with Food that can be accessed day or night. It is available to the entire community which is invited to participate in stocking or making use of it.emergency assistance grants were provided to forty-eight households for housing, utilities, water and sewer, fuel, transportation, property taxes, and cremation.
