Prepare for some major heat, Vermont! ☀️🔥

Did you know heat illness is more common in June than later in the summer? That's because our bodies aren't used to hot weather just yet. Know the signs so you can avoid a heat emergency and check in on your neighbors and loved ones.

From Hunger Free Vermont
“Could you be eligible for 3SquaresVT? Many people are and don’t know it!

What are the benefits of 3SquaresVT?
- It gives you money every month, and the freedom to buy the groceries that are right for you and your family—foods that you like, that work for your dietary and cultural preferences.
- It unlocks more money when shopping at farmers markets across the state that accept 3SquaresVT.
- You can shop at more than 600 stores in Vermont, online, and anywhere in the U.S. where SNAP is accepted.
- It supports our state economy as a whole. When you get 3SquaresVT, you’re not taking benefits away from anyone—in fact, you’re bringing federal dollars into our state to support our farmers and businesses. That’s a win-win!

Shopping with 3SquaresVT benefits lets us buy the food we want, and the foods we know our kids and family like. 3SquaresVT provides support to over 70,000 people in Vermont every month, but many more are eligible who may not even know it.
