A special food drive is underway to provide free weekly dinner

A special food drive is underway to provide free weekly dinners to the Burlington mayor and her wife to help reduce the burden of being public servants. Emma Mulvaney-Stanak, who took office as Mayor on April 1, and her partner Megan Moir, the director of water resources for the city of Burlington, make about $250,000 a year, but friends have started a food drive for the two women and their two children. The sign-up is through a website known as MealTrain.com, which features a picture of Mulvaney-Stanak, Moir, and their two children. The website also says people can donate food cards to DoorDash, Panera, Chili’s, Visa and more to the family. “If you are able to support them to make the job of Mayor more manageable, please consider bringing them a meal,” says the pitch letter sent by Rachel Siegel of Toward Liberation. “I felt great to be supporting our community indirectly by helping keep Emma and Megan nourished,” Siegel wrote in the letter that was obtained by Vermont News First.
