From health, to education, to earning potential
Hunger impacts everything
The most recent data from Feeding America’s Map the Meal Gap study has revealed that in Colorado, 1 in 9 people (including 1 in 7 kids) are at risk of food insecurity.
At Ellis Elementary School and Place Bridge Academy, 85-90% of students qualify for free and reduced-priced school meals.
Food safety nets like school lunch programs and ensure that children are fed during the school day. But what about the rest of the family? What do families do when school is not in session?
Community based organizations like ours are critical to provide food for the whole family for dinners, weekends, and throughout the summer.
