The House concurrent resolution No. R-15, introduced by Representative McGill of Bridport, designates February 6, 2025, as 3SquaresVT Awareness Day at the State House. This resolution highlights the collaborative efforts of various organizations, including food shelves, meal sites, and community groups, in combating hunger in Vermont. A key component of this initiative is the 3SquaresVT program, which is Vermont's implementation of the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The resolution emphasizes the program's effectiveness, noting that it provides nine meals for every one meal offered by the charitable food system and serves over 65,000 Vermonters, including many children, seniors, and individuals with disabilities.

The resolution further underscores the importance of 3SquaresVT in supporting the food needs of vulnerable populations while maintaining their dignity and privacy. It also highlights the program's positive impact on local economies by keeping redeemed benefits within the state, thereby supporting local grocers and farmers. Given the increasing number of individuals at risk of hunger, particularly among households with children, the resolution calls for recognition of 3SquaresVT Awareness Day to raise awareness and promote the program's vital role in addressing food insecurity in Vermont.
