“Vermont’s at-large Congressman met with statewide hunger council representatives this week to hear about needs across the state and provide an update on relief actions in Congress.

During the two years of the pandemic, Congressman Peter Welch has been meeting with the Hunger Councils of Vermont. Coordinated through Hunger Free Vermont, the 10 regional groups organize food and nutrition efforts locally and statewide.

The Democrat noted that the pandemic presented challenges for people seeking necessities and, as in many sectors, the pandemic revealed weaknesses in programs that help people with basic needs.”
