A federal food distribution program aimed at helping Vermont farmers and people during the coronavirus pandemic is set to end by the end of the month.
The Farmers to Families Food Box Program will end as of May 31, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which launched the program last year as a temporary, emergency relief effort to help alleviate the unprecedented hunger afflicting the country as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and millions of people losing their jobs.

AMHERST, Mass. (AP) The University of Massachusetts is planning to return to in-person classes Monday after a previous surge in COVID-19 cases led the school to pause campus instruction for two weeks.
University officials say recent restrictions have helped reduce the spread of COVID-19, allowing the school to decrease its risk level from “high” to “elevated.” The decision was made with input from the state s Department of Public Health, according to a Friday message from Chancellor Kumble Subbaswamy.
Students will be allowed to attend classes on campus as long as they comply with requirements to be tested for COVID-19 twice a week. Sports teams will be allowed to resume practices and away competitions, but there will be no home games until mid-March.
