Everyone Eats

Local people need to eat, and local restaurants and farmers need to feed people.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Vital Communities helped to manage two programs that paid local restaurants to make free meals for community members, using in part locally grown ingredients: Upper Valley Everyone Eats and Claremont Everyone Eats.

Our Track Record: UVEE’s Impact

Since September 2020, UVEE has worked with 11 Upper Valley restaurants to provide over 200,000 meals to Vermonters, providing over $2 million in income for local restaurants. Additionally, through the UVEE program local farms and producers received over $521,000 as a part of creating those meals. UVEE has worked with more than 30 meal sites throughout that time, with the help of many partner organizations and dedicated community volunteers.
