Vermont Business Magazine The real estate community in northwestern Vermont is once again coming together to support local food shelves. The Community Service Committee for the Northwestern Vermont Board of Realtors (NVBR) has launched its annual food drive.

“The Committee set a goal of raising $4,000 through contributions and I am happy to report we have exceeded the halfway point raising over $2,200,” said Lauren Gaffney-Cohen, Chair of the Community Service Committee. “The food drive runs through April 22 so there is plenty of time to reach our goal and help local food shelves who are facing a higher demand due to the pandemic.”
