Today is National Food Bank Day.More than 538,000 neighbors in the Food Bank of the Rockies service area are food insecure — about 1 in 8 people, and 1 in 5 children. Colorado's rate is at a 12-year high, and roughly half of those affected do not qualify for SNAP.
The first food bank opened in Phoenix in 1967, when John van Hengel connected discarded grocery store food with families who needed it. That organization created this observance in 2017.
Every dollar given to Food Bank of the Rockies provides three meals. September is Hunger Action Month — a good time to give, volunteer, or organize a drive.
