NAMI Vermont is teaming up with locally owned restaurants between June 13 and July 13, 2025 for our Meals for Mental Health fundraiser! We need YOUR help to make personal connections with restaurants across Vermont. This is a quick and easy volunteer opportunity for a great cause!

How it Works:

  1. NAMI Vermont provides all materials you need, including an introductory letter explaining the Meals for Mental Health to restaurants.
  2. You connect with restaurants in your area to seek their participation in Meals for Mental Health.
  3. The restaurant signs up using a Google Form (we’ll provide the link).
  4. You and the restaurant feel great about supporting NAMI Vermont’s mission and mental health initiatives!

Ready to Help?

Please respond to this opportunity and/or email our Events Coordinator, Kathleen Kilbourne, at events@namivt.org to get started! You can learn more about NAMI Vermont’s efforts in your community at namivt.org. Thank you for your support!
