Food banks serve large areas and will be able to find a feeding program in your local community. Food insecurity is a harsh reality for 1 in 11 Coloradans, including 1 in 9 children, underscoring the critical need for accessible resources and support systems. The tough choices families face, such as skipping meals to feed their children or prioritizing between basic necessities, highlight the urgent need for assistance. However, hope shines through the efforts of organizations like the Food Bank of the Rockies, which serves 1 in 9 individuals across Colorado. Through a network of Hunger Relief Partners and direct service programs, these food banks provide essential nourishment and support to those in need, contributing significantly to the fight against hunger.
Feeding Colorado, an association of the five Feeding America food banks in Colorado, collaborates to reach people in every county, every day. Through their combined efforts, they distributed 102 million meals last year while advocating for policy changes to address the root causes of hunger. As the need for food and community services continues to rise, donations and volunteers play a crucial role in supporting these organizations. Whether through financial contributions, volunteer hours, or food donations, every effort helps ensure that fellow Coloradans can access the food and resources they need to thrive.
