The Farmers to Families food box program will continue to distribute fresh food in August throughout the state, according to a Facebook post by the Vermont Department of Health.

Reservations are required to pick up the boxes that contain fresh produce, dairy products, and chicken. People are allowed to pick up a box for others, but that must be noted when making a reservation.

To register and see the dates and locations, please visit humanresources.vermont.gov/food-help or call 2-1-1 if you do not have access to the internet or are uncomfortable using it.

Slots are filling up fast so make a reservation as soon as possible.
