The Vermont Foodbank is pleased to announce the hiring of Jason Maring as Chief Operations Officer. Maring comes to the Foodbank from City Market/Onion River Co-op in Burlington, the second largest single store co-op in the nation with the mission of strengthening the local food system and eradicating childhood hunger in Burlington.
