SNAP Bridge Fund
SNAP Bridge Fund
When a SNAP card says “Insufficient Funds,” our community says “We’ve got you.”
The federal shutdown has paused SNAP and EBT benefits for November, leaving many Vermont families unsure how they’ll afford food. At Neighborhood Roots Food Collective, we see how deeply these programs matter.
This year alone, $7,025 in SNAP dollars have moved through the Guilford Food Hub, feeding families and supporting local farms and food producers.
To make sure no one is turned away when benefits pause, we’re launching the SNAP Bridge Fund to help neighbors cover that gap when buying through the Food Hub.
Every donation helps twice: it keeps food on local tables and dollars in our local food system.
Let’s make sure no neighbor goes hungry while politics get sorted out.

A local grower grew these trees from seed this past spring and has generously offered them to Neighborhood Roots for our fall fundraiser.
The bareroot saplings will be given out with donations of $25 (3 trees), $40 (5 trees), and $75 (10 trees).
They are random crosses from an orchard of named cultivar parents (Prok, Yates, Meader, Early Golden, Juhl, as well as other more obscure ones). Persimmons are more true to seed than apples, so they should produce excellent fruit. Please note that some of these seedlings are male that won't ever set fruit. Plant at least 2 to ensure fruiting.
Bareroot trees will be available for pickup (and planting!) on November 12th, from 1pm - 6pm at the Broad Brook Community Center in Guilford, VT or by other arrangement (if needed). Sorry, we can't ship trees.
All donations are tax deductible and will go to support Neighborhood Roots' efforts to boost our local food economy, build community connections, and improve food access for everyone. Neighborhood Roots is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
