For over 30 years, JUMP has been listening and responding to the real needs of people with thoughtful, practical assistance, informed referrals, and warm hospitality.
Within the South Burlington community, nearly 1 in 4 students depend on free or reduced school meals, and those same students may go without breakfast and lunch over the summer school vacation when those resources are unavailable.
The nearest food shelf in Burlington can feel unreachable for these families, as the most vulnerable struggle with poverty, employment, and lack of transportation. By establishing a food shelf here, where it’s needed most, we can offer our neighbors the resources they deserve. By pulling together, as a community, we can serve our neighbors with dignity and grace.
