Aug 17, 2026

FNSU administrators reported the district delivered 4,066 seven‑day meal boxes via a new refrigerated trailer funded by local grants; the program produced higher participation than in‑school summer meals and may be repeated next year.

The full story

Superintendent (S2) told the board the district’s meal‑box program distributed 4,066 boxes before the meeting and credited grant funding and staff effort for the reach and logistics. The trailer used for refrigeration was purchased with grant funds from the Vermont Dairy Council and Stewart's; pickups run weekly (Enosburg Tuesdays, Richford Thursdays), and LEAP participants received two‑day boxes following in‑program meals.
