An omnipresent image showing Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, bundled up at this week’s inauguration of President Joe Biden is now helping raise money to get food to Vermont seniors.
“What a fantastic surprise,” said Jane Catton, the CEO of Age Well, referring to news that a fundraising effort will turn a silly meme into an opportunity to do some serious good work. “At the end of the day, this is about giving back.”
Age Well is one of five agencies on aging across Vermont that have been told they’ll receive proceeds from a sweatshirt produced by the Friends of Bernie Sanders, a political action committee. It shows that omnipresent image of the senator bundled up at the presidential inauguration.
