Meal Train® for Spectrum Youth and Family Services Drop-In Center

Thank you so much for visiting our Meal Train page! We are so grateful for the support from this community that enables us to keep our doors open, and your contribution to our meal program is a huge part of that. Our Drop-In Center is open to youth 14 to 25, Monday through Friday from 10am-1pm and 4pm-6pm. The Drop-In program is intended for youth in our community to access basic needs services, hot meals, supportive engagement, and referrals to housing and case management. Dinner is served Monday through Friday from 5 to 6 pm. Meal donations should arrive between 4:00 and 4:30 pm. If running behind schedule, please text or call the Drop-In phone at (802) 777-5714. If you would like to make a meal donation: please plan to cook for 20-30 youth, it is helpful if you are able to provide a vegan option as well as an ingredients list of your meal. This helps ensure that we are meeting different dietary needs for the youth and keeping folks safe you may have allergies or restrictions. If you are able to individually package meals in to-go containers that is also helpful, but not necessary. We are appreciative of your donation either way! COVID 19 risk notes: if you are feeling unwell, please reschedule your donation, or opt instead to provide us with a restaurant gift card that can be used for delivery. We are also asking at this time that folks do not serve their donations personally, so as to limit the number of people in and out of our kitchen facilities. Thank you again for the time, energy, and thoughtfulness that you put into providing a meal for the youth at the Burlington Drop-In Center. Happy cooking!
