Hunger Free Colorado’s mission is to eliminate hunger in Colorado, and here are a few of the facts surrounding the reason why they are so passionate in their efforts….
- Nearly 1 in 6 Coloradans experienced hunger at some point in 2012, meaning that more than 840,000 people faced a time when there was not enough money to buy food for their families or themselves.
- More than 1 in 5 Colorado households with children (22%) reported food hardship—facing financial challenges to put food on the table — between 2008 and 2012.
- More than 1 in 4 working families in Colorado do not have enough food to meet their basic needs
- Nearly 1 in 9 Colorado seniors were unsure of when or where they would get their next meal at some point in 2010.
- For the major nutrition assistance programs, Coloradan participation has improved, but statewide numbers still remain low.
- Food Assistance (SNAP/Food Stamps) – 55%
- School Breakfast Program – 46%
- Summer Food Service Program – 13.2%
We hope to see you on either May 8th in Denver, or May 15th in Boulder.
