A Food & Farm Sponsorship supports:

HEALTHY COMMUNITIES
Your business helps provide Vermonters managing food insecurity with fresh, locally grown vegetables, fruit, and poultry through VYCC’s Health Care Share project. From June to November participants pick up weekly free shares at their doctor’s office.

PAID SERVICE & LEARNING
Your business helps provide meaningful, paid service opportunities to youth and young adults. Crew members grow, pack, and deliver Health Care Shares to medical centers. They build deep connections with each other, their community, and the land.

Your sponsorship plays a role within a wide network of people working hard to increase food access so all Vermonters can benefit from our state’s abundant harvests. This includes medical centers, support organizations, farmers, and businesses like yours.

What sponsors are saying…

City Market, 2021-2023 sponsor
We are proud to sponsor VYCC’s Food and Farm program. Their work to train the next generation of leaders to address food insecurity in our community is inspiring and necessary. The impact of this program and the distribution of free, locally grown food to Vermonters in need through their Health Care Share program aligns strongly with our Global Ends and our ongoing efforts to strengthen the local food system. We look forward to continuing our partnership with VYCC and being a part of the continued impact of this program.

SunCommon, 2021 & 2023 sponsor
SunCommon believes that everyone has the right to a healthy environment and a brighter future. That means respecting the intrinsic value of our natural environment and the role it plays in addressing the climate crisis. We’re proud to support VYCC’s commitment to building the next generation of eco-champions. By supporting the development of Vermont’s youth, we are able to care for the beautiful community we hold so dear and ensure it thrives for years to come.
