Food distribution for residents in need

The Vermont National Guard will be distributing food to area residents in need at Middlebury Airport on Wednesday, May 20, 2020, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The distribution effort is a response to hardships caused by Covid-19.

Those wishing to receive the food are instructed to pull their cars up to the airport, 467 Airport Road off Case Street/Highway 116 in Middlebury, and open their car trunks for guard members to load boxes of food. The National Guard requests that you allow plenty of room for the boxes and that you leave pets at home for their safety.

Each household will be given two gallons of milk, two boxes of chicken, one box of vegetables, one box of Cabot cheeses and butter, one box of FEMA boxed meals.

Details are available on the Town of Whiting website.

The schedule of meal distribution around the state is outlined on the Vermont Emergency Management website.
