This includes connecting residents with local nonprofits, government agencies, benefits, job training, financial coaching, and parenting resources; helping residents complete applications for financial assitance and access energy discounts and low-cost Wi-Fi; and coordinating food programs such as community gardens, deliveries by Vermont Foodbank and Willing Hands, and "Lunch Friends" summer weekday meals.
