Veggie VanGo

A walk-up, farmers market-style produce event offered by the Vermont Foodbank in partnership with GBCS every 4th Wednesday from 10-11:30a.m. at the Bennington Fire House back parking lot 130 River Street, Bennington.

VeggieVanGo is a Vermont Foodbank program that provides free fresh produce to anyone who does not have consisent access to fresh produce! No registration is required and there are no age or income requirements to participate in VeggieVanGo.

This Veggie VanGo is a WALK-UP only! Park and walk. Bring your own bag, box, or hand trolley!

Please do not arrive before the event starts or line up vehicles on the street as we will be required to turn you away. This is a pilot program through June 2024 and is subject to change.

VeggieVanGo is held year-round in all-weather except for extreme cold or weather advisories. Whenever possible, the Vermont Foodbank will determine emergency cancellations 24-hours in advance. If an event is cancelled, the Vermont Foodbank will do their best to reschedule, but that is not always possible because of warehouse scheduling.
