Book Sales to Benefit Vermont Foodbank

In these troubling times, it’s more important than ever to help our neighbors facing hunger. In November, all Rootstock’s proceeds from book sales will be donated to the Vermont Foodbank.

“While books feed me and every book lover I know in immeasurable ways, now is the time to help feed our community in more tangible ways,” says Publisher Samantha Kolber. “I’m hoping Rootstock, with your help, can make a difference.”

The rising cost of groceries—nearly 11 percent higher—is worsening food insecurity, the Vermont Foodbank notes. Nearly 39,000 households in the state rely on 3SquaresVT to purchase food. And, with the reduction in federal funding, the Vermont Foodbank is struggling with rising prices from operating costs and utility bills to purchasing and transporting food. For every $5 the Vermont Foodbank receives, it’s able to purchase $20 of food.
