We’re excited to share that Edi Abeneto is stepping into a new role as our Cultural & Food Security Specialist! Edi has been part of Feeding Champlain Valley for more than 20 years, beginning his journey as an Interpreter & Distribution Assistant, then serving as Distribution Coordinator, and most recently as our Food Shelf Supervisor.

Throughout his career, Edi has brought dedication, compassion, and a deep understanding of the communities we serve. In his new role, he will implement food access initiatives that support culturally responsive foods and dietary needs across the region, while helping address language, cultural, and systemic barriers.

Edi will work closely with CVOEO’s Community Ambassadors and the Office of Racial Equity & Community Inclusion (ORECI) to strengthen partnerships, improve access, and help ensure that everyone can access food with dignity and respect.

We’re incredibly grateful for Edi’s many years of service and excited to see the impact he’ll continue to make in this new chapter.

Yesterday, Feeding Champlain Valley celebrated our volunteers and all the work that they do across FCV with a Volunteer Appreciation Party. Volunteers are the heartbeat at all levels of service at Feeding Champlain Valley's various locations; their work packing home deliveries, gleaning at various farms across Vermont, cooking hot meals, organizing and distributing food at our food shelves, or coming into their roles with a warm smile means more food accessibility for families and individuals in Vermont.

Thank you to Samantha, for coordinating all the volunteers when it comes to scheduling and putting them into roles that fit their strengths and for putting together this wonderful celebration. Lastly, a thank you to all the volunteers across the Champlain Valley to make FCV what it is!

In August, Feeding Champlain Valley, Healthy Roots Collaborative, and CVOEO had a public showing of the mural that will be going up on Healthy Roots Collaborative's Sheldon warehouse.

Corrine Yonce, the artist who is creating the mural showed guests at the Saint Albans Museum their vision of the project including sketches, references, and the local history tying the project back to the Franklin food systems that are all around Sheldon.

Thank you to all the came to support and check on the progress of the mural if you happen to pass by it next time you're in Franklin County!
