Volunteers
The Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf has a strong volunteer base, which performs countless necessary tasks in support of our mission of feeding the hungry. This 400+ strong volunteer pool provides a vital service to CEFS, without which CEFS could not function at its current five program capacity and could not perform its service to the community. In 2007, over 500 volunteers contributed more than 11,435 work hours!
