sharing food & giving hope





Each month,
we serve over 700 people in Winooski.

who we are
The Winooski Food Shelf is staffed by a group of dedicated volunteers of all backgrounds and ages who come together to serve our guests--those who are in need of food assistance. All of us share the belief that no one should go hungry in our community. Our outlook is truly ecumenical in that we welcome volunteers of all religious backgrounds, as well as those who do not have any religious affiliation.
​
We are always looking for more people to help out. If you would like to make a difference, please contact us at 802-655-7371.
our guests
Our guest range from seniors living alone or in subsidized housing, students with limited means, families of various sizes with heads of families who have lost their jobs, New Americans often with large extended families trying to re-settle--and, perhaps, your next-door neighbor whose salary no longer covers the high cost of food.
​
At the end of 2024, we had 539 Winooski families registered after we had removed those who had not made any recent visits. the average number of visits made each day we're open is 54.5--that a lot of people to take car of in two hours or so.
​
And the size of our household varies from 1 to over 10, with 1-5 individuals living in a household accounting for the most of the range.
