Last year, we hosted a food drive in our Denver office to benefit Food Bank of the Rockies. Due to COVID restrictions and lack of manpower, they are unable to accept food donations this year. Instead, they have created a platform for us to be able to donate money. It's simple - just $1 helps provide 4 meals for people facing hunger!
Since mid-March, Food Bank of the Rockies has seen an entirely new level of food insecurity in our communities. They have provided millions of pounds to thousands of people throughout Colorado and Wyoming throughout this pandemic.
They are serving many people who have lost their jobs and are facing food insecurity for the first time. More than 30% of the people they are serving report never needing food assistance before this. And families who were already vulnerable have found themselves in dire need.
With help from donations, Food Bank of the Rockies has been able to distribute more than 2 million pounds of nutritious food weekly across the region!
If you find yourself in a place where you are able to and wanting to give to a great charity this holiday season, please donate!
