Groceries getting more expensive? You’re not alone.

3SquaresVT helps many older Vermonters afford the food they need every month. Even a modest benefit can make a real difference in your grocery budget.

Many people are surprised to learn they qualify — especially older adults living on Social Security or a fixed income.

Benefits can help pay for:
• Groceries at local stores
• Fresh foods at farmers markets
• Everyday food staples

The Northeast Kingdom Council on Aging can help you find out if you qualify and assist with the application.

📞 Call our Helpline: 800-642-5119

Our team can also help with other questions about services for older adults across the Northeast Kingdom. See less
