"Feeding Chittenden has been serving the North End of Burlington since 1974. Hallam-ICS provided funding to the group through our Giving Tree and has provided several groups (on our Service Days) to assist in the heroic efforts these folks put forth. They began, as their name implies, as a Food Shelf – providing food to hungry people. Today, they distribute 2.2 million pounds of food to over 12,000 people. They serve hot meals daily and converted to a “to go” model during Covid. They train people in their kitchen for jobs in restaurants and place over 90% of their students. The deliver food to people who can’t get out. They rescue food that would be wasted by the food industry. And, their “Good Food Truck” extends their reach by taking meals out into the broader community. I am proud that Hallam-ICS supports the great work of these fantastic people "
