"3SQUARESVT" IS AIMED AT CREATING A HUNGER FREE VERMONT

You or your family & friends may be eligible for 3SquaresVT. 3SquaresVT is a federal program that can help households put food on the table during the COVID-19 CRISIS and bring more money into our local economy. It can be used to purchase food at most grocery stores, convenience stores, farmers’ markets, and co-ops. 3SquaresVT benefits are given to you each month on an EBT (electronic benefits transfer) card, which works like a debit card. Individuals receive $194 per month; a family of 6 is eligible for $921 per month.

This program is here for individuals, families, older Vermonters, people who are working, people who are not working, and people with disabilities. Are you. . .
