Our Purpose

Provide emergency meals to elderly Charleston, Vermont residents who cannot access food due to limited income, limited mobility, and who must remain isolated due to high-risk for COVID-19. This will be accomplished by contracting with the Charleston Elementary School to scale up their preparation of student breakfast and lunch to include local seniors in need. Meal delivery will be accomplished without physcial contact through existing bus routes and volunteer drivers to more remote residences. The Town of Charleston's Emergency Operations officials provide project leadership and direction, and the municipality is the financial entity.
