Vermont Foodbank Donations Way Below Expectations

Posted: Updated:
BARRE, Vt. -

The Vermont Foodbank says that looming fiscal cliff and low donations has it fearful for next year.

The foodbank in Barre was busy with activity Thursday, but it might slow down.

Officials say they're short about $700,000 thousand dollars from their $1.2-million dollar goal.

On top of that, they're afraid a fiscal cliff could mean even more people relying on them.

That's why they're hoping people like you will step up over the next couple weeks

"It's a hard time for a lot of people and we understand that and people have been very generous and what I would ask is folks that haven't given to the food bank in the past or haven't given this year is we could really use your gift by the end of the year," said Vermont Foodbank CEO John Sayles.

If the foodbank does not reach its goal certain programs could be in jeopardy in 2013.
