Support families and individuals facing hunger in Weld County.
On August 19, Banner Health and Weld Food Bank will partner to fight hunger and stock food bank shelves for the fall and winter.
According to the Weld Food Bank, one in four people in Weld County suffers from hunger, including one in three children. In addition, due to the higher cost of living in Colorado, families in Weld County need an income 3.5 times the federal poverty level to make ends meet.
Thanks to the food bank’s stocked shelves, those in need can go to either the Weld Food Bank or the Mobile Food Pantry to receive the food they need for free. Last year alone, the Weld Food Bank distributed 12.4 million pounds of food.
Here are the details of the food collection:
When: 19 August 2024, 3-7 p.m.
Where: North Colorado Medical Center (1650 16th St. Greeley, CO 80631). Proceed through the drop-off point in the parking lot east of the parking garage.
Most urgently needed items: Canned meat, canned fruit, canned vegetables, rice, canned meals/chili, tuna, cereal, peanut butter.
