Through our programs and initiatives at Neighbors in Action, we help ensure that food relief and social interactions have a more meaningful and enduring impact.Since our inception in 2004, Neighbors in Action (formerly Faith in Action) has provided supplemental food support and socially enriching programs to encourage neighbor-to-neighbor connections and support.With locations in two rural Vermont towns, Cabot and Lyndonville, Neighbors in Action is accessible to residents from a wide area, including Washington County and the Northeast Kingdom (Caledonia and Essex Counties).Neighbors in Action's Food Share program operates out of our Cabot and Lyndonville offices, serving three counties which are Vermont’s poorest, most rural and with highest unemployment and neediest population.We have had a record number of new families signing up for our food box distribution programs in both Cabot and Lyndonville. While we saw a 37% increase in the number of food share boxes we distributed in 2022, in 2023 there was a 100% increase - twice as much as last year's total.Our “Food Share” program has developed into much more than a free food handout. It has become an exercise in community. Folks, who might never have worked together before, pitch in, shoulder to shoulder to help their neighbors in need. They unload truckloads of food, unpack and arrange or repackage it for distribution.See our amazing volunteers in action at our bi-monthly food shares in Cabot and Lyndonville, Vermont!We distribute a three days or more food supply to an average of 300+ families from our Cabot office and another 180+ from our Lyndonville location during our bi-weekly food shares.In addition to food, we give away pet food, toiletries and other household items when available to us.For more detailed information, please see our 2024 Annual Report.
