Change is coming fast, and what that means for the people in Vermont who rely on 3SquaresVT is not yet clear. As federal threats to 3SquaresVT foreshadow troubling change, this conference is a space to gather in community, continue our learning, and crystalize our hope.

Our theme this year, Navigating Change with Hope, is about leading with the belief that a food-secure Vermont is possible–and then working together to make it a reality. In times like these, hope is more than just optimism—it’s a necessity. Hope fuels action, and we can all gather together in hope, and in action.

As always, conference sessions will offer a range of learning opportunities for those new to the world of 3SquaresVT and for our seasoned advocates.
