Grantees: Health/Nutrition

Food for Thought began in 2008 with the goal of providing supplemental lunch and summer reading materials for children in Grand Isle County at risk for hunger. Our mission is simple. We provide fresh, nutritious (often local), food to the most vulnerable families in our communities when school lunch is unavailable. Families from Grand Isle County sign up through the Congregational Church of South Hero (CCSH). No financial disclosure is required. Once a week, a group of community volunteers puts together boxes which families retrieve either at the CCSH or at a collection site in Alburgh. This program has been run through donation for 15 years, and we plan to serve more
families and to continue to source more food locally.
