MISSION:
Grateful Hearts Bennington crafts delicious, nutritionally-dense meals that energize and improve the vitality of hungry people in our greater communities.
We will support and collaborate on educational and sustainability initiatives to foster a lifestyle of wellness for our community and the environment.
Gather
We gather just out of the ground harvests from local farms, ingredients from regional producers and sourced vegetables and staples from Vt Foodbank.
Cook
“Clean, colorful and close", the philosophy that drives the design and creation of meals for recipients. Clean, mostly organic whole ingredients, colors of the rainbow in the diversity of our plant forward meals, and from the field to the pot as quickly as possible
Nourish
The whole community wins when our hungry neighbors are nourished.
Improved health for recipients
support for local farms by purchasing produce that may otherwise go to waste
reduces the community’s carbon footprint by reducing waste and food trans
“Grateful Hearts fundamentally provides valuable nutrition, which is incredibly important to those experiencing homelessness as many have not only experienced food insecurity but also health issues impacted by nutrition.”
— Stephannie Peters, Executive Director for the Bennington County Coalition for The Homeless
