Helping our Food Insecure Neighbors
Springfield Family Center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that serves our food insecure neighbors in the greater Springfield area. Many in our community struggle with knowing where their next meal will come from:
-2 in 5 Vermonters are food insecure
-Springfield in particular suffers from a poverty rate that is 47% higher than Vermont's average.
During the last fiscal year, SFC helped alleviate this problem by providing the community with:
-30,282 prepared meals
-701 visits to the food shelf serving 1361 people cumulatively
-Distributed 9,826 loaves of bread, fresh produce to 6,146 people and fresh dairy to 1,216 people cumulatively
- 1,180 pounds of food feeding 140 families cumulatively through a food pantry drop off program at local schools
-102 holiday themed boxes feeding over 300 people
In addition, SFC partners with local organizations such as Senior Solutions and Springfield Area Adult Day Program to develop programs that target particular populations with nutritional needs.
With our recent move to a downtown, more accessible location we have seen about a marked increase in the number of meals we serve each day, as well as a steady increase in the use of our food shelf.
YOU CAN HELP BY BUYING A MEAL FOR A NEIGHBOR
For $10 you can “buy” an entire prepared meal for one person or enough ingredients from our food shelf to provide an entire meal for a household consisting of 2-3 people.
