CCV HOLIDAY FOOD DRIVE A SUCCESS!

The Student Advisory Board (SAB) ended their six week food drive last week collecting a total of 240 pounds of food for the Chittenden County Emergency Food Shelf. The staff at the Food Shelf were very appreciative of the donation and indicated that they are seeing a rapid increase in need among Vermont families. On behalf of CCV Burlington, the SAB would like to thank all those who contributed in making this event a success!

The Chittenden County Food Shelf accepts donations all year. If you are interested in contributing, please visit their website for more information.
