Springfield Family Center cordially invites you to an Open House, in our new space in the Springfield Shopping Plaza.
Join staff and Board members for light refreshments, a tour of the new space, and a viewing of the Vermont Everyone Eats documentary that highlights how Vermonters came together in support of local businesses and Vermont farmers/food producers to feed their food insecure neighbors
The Springfield Family Center (SFC) is excited to announce that we have officially moved into our new location in the Springfield Shopping Plaza, Suite #9 (in the space formerly known as precision pools/Aubuchon's hardware).
We are excited to be closer to town in a more accessible space and look forward to serving our food insecure neighbors.
Since 1971, SFC has been able to connect individuals and families to charitable food resources with the gracious help of our community. We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to the community for supporting our mission to ensure every individual has the food they need to thrive.
Sadly, ongoing inflation and rising food costs continue to burden individuals and families who are struggling
Springfield Family Center’s food shelf and hot meal programs provide sustenance and nutrition to those who would otherwise go hungry.
· 52% of Vermont households report having to choose between purchasing food or paying their bills.
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 North Star Health, 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 a consistent 45% 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.
Springfield Family Center Thanks You for Your Support!
Prices of groceries are rising. Your Donations make all the difference in our ability to feed community members facing hunger.
