Learn how Vermont 211 can connect you to food and other support

Vermont 211 is expanding its work on food insecurity. Our trained Community Resource Specialists will now use the Hunger Vital Sign, a short two-question screening tool, to identify individuals and families at risk of food insecurity. They will then connect them to local food programs, nutrition resources, and other health and human services.

This initiative will also:

• Strengthen Vermont’s statewide food resource database
• Expand outreach to rural communities
• Help providers make better use of Vermont 211’s resource navigation tools

Better screening, referral, and coordination will help more Vermonters get the food and support they need for their health and well-being.

Worried about having enough food? If you or someone you know needs help, call 211 or text your zip code to 898211. You can also search for food programs and other services near you in our Online Directory.
