 My name is Anna McMahon, A-N-N-A-M-C-M-A-H-O-N and I'm the Associate Director with Feeding Chitenden. So yeah, we're very exciting. Feeding Chitenden is excited to have the first phase of this expansion done and to be working more closely with CBOEO, our parent organization. The Community Resource Center has been a welcome partner of ours here and has helped a tremendous amount as far as accommodating the folks that are coming in who need obviously food, the meals that we're providing, but also housing assistance. There's so many services that a lot of our community members need when they're coming in beyond food. And this is really, when we say Community Resource Center, it really is a sense, there is a sense of community here. Food brings people together and we're happy to be part of that. We're excited to see where this project grows and yeah, just to be kind of a focal point in the old North End. We've been here. We're actually, Feeding Chitenden is coming up on 50 years. Next year will be 50 years of Feeding Chitenden. So we're excited for this growth and expansion and to see where it goes. Hi, my name is Travis Poulin. I'm the CBOEO Community Action Network Director and part of my job is to work with the Community Resource Center. I just really want to thank all of our partners, Champlain Housing Trust, OEO, the City of Burlington, for helping us make these changes to the Resource Center reality. It's going to allow us to serve more people in a more welcoming environment and that's very much needed right now. Okay. Hi, my name is Adam Hall and I'm the Community Resource Coordinator for Homelessness, the Homelessness Resource Coordinator for CBOEO and I overseen, supervise the Community Resource Center here at the Food Shelf and we're really excited about the renovations being done. We're excited that we're able to finally seat people again. It's been since about April that we had anybody actually sit and eat food. We haven't had the space so we're really excited that that is able to be happening again and the space looks great. It's more comfortable. We've got energy efficient heating and cooling now and we've got a calming wall color that hopefully will be a pleasing place for people to sit and relax, especially for those of our clients who are experiencing homelessness, which is where we focus has had a lot of our energy and efforts. So we're just really excited about it. Also looking forward to phase two when we might get that second story and have a little bit even more space for people but we haven't filled up yet. It's just really only been, you know, a week or so that we've been able to seat people but we expect we'll get pretty full in the winter. So we're looking forward to having a full house and anybody in the community that wants to come by. It's not just for people experiencing homelessness. This is the community resource center. So stop on by. My name is Brenna Badard. I'm one of the homeless outreach services providers here at CVOO. I am so excited about the new space. I think it provides a little piece of home for folks who otherwise would not have a home. It's very hospitable. It's warm. It's inviting and I think that everyone deserves to feel welcome no matter where they are and I think that the space does that.
