Project Feed the Thousands thanks supporters

Project Feed the Thousands' 29th annual campaign was a resounding success, collecting $138,748 in cash contributions, along with food items, providing 369,839 meals. We thank all of our generous supporters and numerous area businesses for participating in what has become this area's largest annual food drive.

We support families and individuals in our area who are food insecure and need a little extra help, and during these challenging financial times, with your help, we were able to assist them.

Nine area food shelves are supported with the funds that Project Feed the Thousands raises annually: Foodworks (Groundworks Collaborative), Brigid's Kitchen, Loaves and Fishes, Bread of Life Food Pantry (Vernon), Putney Food Shelf, Townshend Food Pantry, Guilford Cares Food Pantry, Our Place Drop In Center (Bellows Falls), and the Hinsdale Food Pantry.

We will graciously continue to accept donations year round. Checks can be mailed to Project Feed the Thousands, c/o 802 Credit Union, P.O. Box 8366, Brattleboro, VT 05304.

When I co-founded Project Feed the Thousands 26 years ago, I never imagined that our mission would be so incredibly necessary all these years later - that the need would have increased so exponentially - that we would be supporting nine area food shelves and community meal programs. This year, I sought to visit all of the food shelves that Project Feed the Thousands supports, and to write about them so that we can all have a better understanding of...
