IBM of Vermont recently provided Green Mountain United Way with its annual contribution for distribution to local food shelves. Each year GMUW chooses one food shelf in each of its five counties to receive a share of this donation. This year's recipient in Orange County is the Chelsea United Church Food Shelf, and the Roxbury Food Shelf in Washington County. The awards were recently made to each of these by Becky Raymond, Community Impact Director for GMUW in Central Vermont.
Other food shelves receiving similar gifts were the NEKCA Food Shelves in Newport (Orleans Co.) and Island Pond (Essex Co.), and the Sheffield Food Pantry in Sheffield (Caledonia Co.).
As partners, IBM and GMUW are committed to supporting local food shelves for the benefit of families that are experiencing difficulty putting good, nutritious food on their tables. For more information about GMUW, visit www.gmunitedway.org.
