NVBR members rally to support local food shelf
NVBR's annual holiday food drive for the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf provides much-needed support for our local food shelf. The final tally is in, and NVBR wishes to thank those who participated in making this a very successful community service project.

A donation of 372 pounds of food and $1478 was made to CEFS for the holidays. Thanks again for your generosity. Special thanks to Bruce Raymond of Home Wise Inspection Services for donating his 50/50 raffle winnings to CEFS.
