Vermont food box program extended; local company returns
A food distribution program aimed at helping farmers and people in need during the coronavirus pandemic has been extended through February.
The Vermont Foodbank told WCAX-TV it was able to extend the Farmers to Families Food Box program thanks to generous community support.
When the program started, the USDA awarded the contract to the Enosburg Falls-based Abbey Group, but the last two rounds went to out-of-state companies.
The Abbey Group will return to supply the food from area farmers.
