Overview

Mission

The mission of lamoille community food share is to help support and improve the physical well-being of individuals who might otherwise go hungry. To this end, we provide supplemental food free of charge in a supportive environment, striving to offer healthy choices within our budget. We help all those who ask, but our main service area consists of the towns of eden, elmore, hyde park, morristown, stowe, and wolcott in lamoille county, Vermont.

What it reported doing in 2025

We have a pantry located at 197 harrel street morrisville, where families can come and receive basic food and other grocery items to help stretch their food dollar. During 2025 we served 7,100 shares.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 93% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
