Thanksgiving is over, but food insecurity remains a big concern. Higher prices at the grocery store have left many families with little choice but to turn to food banks for help
Higher prices at the grocery store have left many families with little choice but to turn to food banks for help.
“Many families are coming to Food Bank of the Rockies for the first time in their lives, people who have never needed help with food assistance,” said Erin Pulling, CEO of Food Bank of the Rockies.“The Food Bank of the Rockies is actually getting hit doubly hard by inflation, both with increased need and also because the cost of food that we are purchasing has gone up dramatically,” said Pulling. “Our costs have more than tripled what we were spending a few years ago.
“Fortunately, we have seen an outpouring of support both from volunteers and donors, recognizing that when they go to the grocery store, their bill costs more and thinking about people who can't provide enough food for their family,” said Pulling.To donate to the Food Bank of the Rockies or find volunteer opportunities, visit https://www.foodbankrockies.org/
