Hello Neighbors,

The Bethel Area Food Shelf and our Community Resiliency and Sustainability Task Force are working with local partners to help our communities stay strong and connected. We serve the towns of Bethel, Barnard, Stockbridge, Rochester, and Pittsfield.

We’re inviting you to take a short, anonymous survey to share your experiences and ideas. The questions focus on everyday needs like health care, transportation, finances, access to food, housing, and childcare. These are all important parts of community well-being. Your input will help us understand what’s working, what’s challenging, and how we can better support our neighbors.

The survey takes about 10–15 minutes, and you’re welcome to skip any questions you don’t feel comfortable answering.

The BAFS Task Force will use the data collected here to better understand regional needs and determine how best to support our neighbors.  This project is supported by a Catalyst Cohort Grant from the Vermont Foodbank and the Vital Communities Upper Valley Resilience Network.

Thank you!
