BRATTLEBORO â Vermont Everyone Eats, a COVID-19 response program, this week celebrated one million restaurant meals served to Vermonters experiencing any of the negative effects of the pandemic.
The program was launched in August 2020 with an allocation of $5 million of the stateâs Coronavirus Relief Fund contracted by the Agency of Commerce and Community Development to Southeastern Vermont Community Action Agency. The program would have expired in December, but widespread community support and advocacy empowered the program and state partners to secure additional funding through FEMA and the program has been extended through the state of emergency.
