For our September Vermonter of the Month, we are honoring all of those who donated to this year\u2019s 2nd<\/sup>\u00a0Annual \u201cLawyers Fighting Hunger<\/a>\u201d\u00a0<\/em>food drive. This collaboration with the Vermont Foodbank<\/a> and the Vermont Bar Association<\/a> raised over $12,700<\/strong> and more than 3,000<\/strong> shelf-stable, non-perishable food items in just two-weeks. We are proud to reaffirm our commitment to serving our community of Vermonters.<\/p>\n

A recent study by the Vermont Foodbank and Feeding America<\/a> shows that one in four Vermonters (around 153,000 people) turn to food shelves and meal service programs to feed themselves and their families.\u00a0 These numbers include an estimated 33,900 children and 26,010 seniors. All food and funds collected during this year\u2019s food drive went directly to the Vermont Foodbank and over two hundred Vermont Foodbank-partner food shelves and meal sites around Vermont.<\/p>\n
