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.
