Who We're Helping

BELOW IS SAMPLE TEXT TO SHOW YOU WHAT THIS SECTION LOOKS LIKE 

Food is the foundation for a happy, healthy life. Hunger is everywhere—often where you least expect it. While hunger is commonly associated with the homeless population, only 10 percent of food recipients are actually homeless. The rest? Everyday people like you and me who are underemployed or unemployed, children, seniors and others who are fighting health issues.

Visit foodbankrockies.org to learn more about who we’ve partnered with and how they’re working to end hunger.

  1. Include information about the organization(s) you’re supporting and who benefits from donations.
  2. Give specific examples of how your program will help your community and bring awareness to the fight against hunger in America.
  3. The image box to the left will allow multiple photos if you choose to represent more than one organization.
