SPRINGFIELD â The Vermont Everyone Eats program that has provided free restaurant to-go meals to COVID-impacted Vermonters since August is being put on hold as of December 31.
Everyone Eats has engaged more than 170 Vermont farms and food producers, played a key role in keeping more than 150 restaurants in business, and provided more than 500,000 meals to members of communities in all 14 Vermont counties. This program was made possible in 2020 with CARES Act funding through a grant from VT Agency of Commerce and Community Development to Southeastern Vermont Community Action (SEVCA) and partnerships with 14 Community Hubs around Vermont. All program partners would like to continue and are working to identify new sources of funding to continue in 2021.
