Aramark to Host Free Community Meal
More and more individuals these days are finding it difficult to afford the recommended three meals a day.
The main problems involve available transportation and the increasing day-to-day costs households face.
Adam Vigue, Food Service Director for Aramark, is lending a helping hand to be a part of the solution. Aramark staff and families are partnering with a St. Johnsbury organization Faith in Action to provide free community meals in surrounding towns.
Al, an Aramark staff member, saw the need in Lyndonville after gaining knowledge of how involved the Faith in Action organization is in St. Johnsbury. When he brought it up to others there was nothing but support and plans were set into motion.
Food will be prepared at Stevens Dining Hall on campus and then transported for the dinner. They anticipate up to 100 or more in attendance as this event develops. There is also a hope to offer those that cannot attend a To-Go option for the dinners provided.
The goal is to eventually be able to offer daily meals in multiple locations. For now the organization is focused on providing a meal on a rotating schedule once a week in Barton, Lyndonville, Sheffield, and West Burke.
To accomplish this goal a large volunteer presence is needed. Community members and Aramark have gotten involved and now they are asking for interested students or college staff to volunteer a few hours of their time.
Support is welcomed for many tasks including on campus food preparation, transportation of food, serving at the dinner, and clean up. The first scheduled dinner is this Friday from 5-7 p.m. in Barton. Everyone is encouraged to attend, socialize, and enjoy the meal.
For more information call or come by the Stevens Dining hall on the Lyndon State College campus. 802.626.6266
