RESOURCES
We are here for you!
There are now three HAFP locations where people can access food: Hardwick, Craftsbury, and Albany.
Since March 2020, we estimate a 25% increase in total households served monthly, with 30% accessing the delivery program and 30% accessing more frequent visits. If you find yourself seeking emergency food assistance, you are not alone. And if lack of transportation is a problem, delivery is available.
Below is a collection of resources regarding food access and other supports beyond the HAFP. A comprehensive list of many of these resources can be found on the Vermont Food Bank’s Food Resources for All flier.
