The Center for an Agricultural Economy (CAE) is working with Hardwick restaurants to recreate a free Hardwick Community Dinner each Thursday. Participating restaurants will be paid by CAE thanks to generous grants including funding from Everyone Eats, a project of Southeastern Vermont Community Action with federal funds designed to help respond to Covid-19.

We are aware that everyone has been affected by Covid-19 - financially, by extra time demands, by more difficult transportation, by challenges to get to grocery stores and farms as we did in times past. For the grant requirements, by accepting these free meals that person will be acknowledging that their food access (food security) has been affected by the pandemic.

-Limited delivery is available for those who do not have access to transportation-
