All profit from Giving Day donated to the Vermont Foodbank
Vermont Business Magazine Darn Tough Vermont and the Vermont Foodbank are helping ensure kids in their home state remain food secure in the coming season. Many that benefit from free or reduced meals during the school year often see that access change during the summer months. The company is donating 100% of its May 19 profit from online sales to the Vermont Foodbank, resulting in 39,230 meals contributed.
The additional support brings the total number of meals donated to nearly 900,000 over the course of their partnership.
This is the second major 2021 initiative by Darn Tough to reduce hunger – a challenge that affects nearly every community in Vermont, the country, and the world. Earlier this year, the company partnered with the now famous Bernie Mitten Maker, Jen Ellis, to create the JENerosity sock, which provided 294,111 meals to Vermonters through the Vermont Foodbank.
Did you know there were two big films titled “Lone Star”?
We’ve added an alphabetized list of key movies about Texas.
Texans adore movies about Texas and Texans.
In my May 10 “Think, Texas” column ( Starring Texas: What you can learn about the state through its movies ), I tried to sort out what it means to be a “Texas movie,” and argued that such a film must be about our state, not just shot here. It must tell us something about who we are.
I applied that standard to 32 movies, starting with the two versions of “The Trip to Bountiful,” one starring Geraldine Page, the other Cicely Tyson, and ending with the never-ending “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” franchise.
Vermont to replace federal food box program

BURLINGTON A new Vermont program will replace a federal food assistance program that started during the coronavirus pandemic to help people in need and is ending in two weeks.
The USDA Farmers to Families Food Box program supplied tens of thousands of food boxes to Vermonters during the peak of the pandemic, mychamplainvalley.com reported.
“A lot of people suffered a pretty big economic shock,” said Vermont Foodbank CEO John Sayles, who estimated the program served one-third of Vermonters. “A lot of those folks, this is the first time that they’ve really had to access things like food assistance.”
Hungry for a late-night snack? You could be out of luck, unless your refrigerator is stocked. Even as most metro Denver restaurants return to full capacity and their standard hours, there s a notable exception: 24/7 diners.
All-night joints took a major hit during the pandemic. Tom s Diner, which was already planning to close in 2020 for a major project on the property at 601 East Colfax Avenue, cut its last hurrah short and never reopened after the March 2020 shutdown; the Denver Diner went dark last November and finally announced in January that it was gone for good.at least from its 740 West Colfax location.
