Vermont Business Magazine A new food pilot was born in April as an offshoot of the highly successful Everyone Eats Vermont project. This idea came from Capstone Executive Director Sue Minter’s goal to expand mobility to Vermonters through greater transportation and food access.
By decentralizing the food shelf delivery system and providing meals in concert with child support services, Capstone is responding to what people need to be successful parents, and easy access to healthy meals rose to the top of the list.
Wellington.Scoop report by Jem Traylen
A koha restaurant is expanding from one to three nights a week, thanks to demand from Wellington diners and an abundant supply of surplus food.
Everybody Eats is a charity that turns surplus food, that would otherwise have gone to landfill, into restaurant-quality three-course meals and diners are only asked to “pay what you feel”. It began in Auckland in 2017 and opened a weekly pop-up in Wellington last October.
The concept has been such a hit with Wellingtonians, in terms of diners, volunteers and donors, that the pop-up phase has officially ended. A lease has been signed, a chef hired, equipment installed, and opening hours extended.

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.

April 29 was an important day for Vermont Everyone Eats, the state s unique food assistance program that partners with local farms and restaurants to offer free meals to Vermonters in need.
The program served its millionth meal on April 29, the same day the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced a grant of nearly $2 million for the program.
Vermont Everyone Eats launched in the early months of the COVID pandemic with the aim of helping hungry Vermonters, local farmers and the restaurant industry alike.
From the spring through the fall of 2020, more than one in four Vermonters experienced food insecurity, according to a report published by the program. Spurred by the coronavirus pandemic and the economic devastation that followed, it was a marked jump from the typical rate of one in 10.
COVID-19: Relatives are welcome at Dartmouth College vaccine clinics

HANOVER The COVID-19 vaccination clinics at Dartmouth College next week will be open to family members of Dartmouth students, staff and faculty regardless of where they reside, college officials announced.
The hope is that the clinics will help get the college and community up to the 70% to 90% vaccination rate that is necessary to achieve herd immunity, Provost Joe Helble said during a virtual community conversation on Wednesday.
“We are not yet there on our campus,” Helble said.
As of Wednesday, just 12% of Dartmouth undergraduates have uploaded vaccination records indicating to college officials that they’ve been vaccinated, Helble said. That’s well below the more than 30% of students at Tuck School of Business and Geisel School of Medicine, he noted.
