We highlighted opportunities to protect and strengthen federal nutrition programs in the upcoming Congress from increasing funding for The Emergency Food Assistance Program to standing up a program to support food bank direct purchases from local farmers and producers!

We presented to students at @ColoradoStateU about our work to alleviate hunger in communities across the state and how @Food4LarimerCo helps make that possible. We empowered students to volunteer and get involved in advocacy; Everyone has a voice, and can make a difference!
