Meet Vicky, our new Operations & Program Support Specialist! She plays a central role in maintaining the behind-the-scenes operations that make Hunger Free Vermont’s work to end hunger for everyone possible. In her free time, she enjoys reading, practicing yoga, hiking, and spending time in nature.

“This is not a work requirement,” Ivy Enoch, our director of policy & advocacy, told @vtdigger.bsky.social. “This is a paperwork requirement.” https://vtdigger.org/2026/02/16/thousands-of-vermonters-could-lose-food-assistance-as-new-work-requirements-take-effect-next-month/
