“I’m working harder and trying harder, and it’s just not enough.” That’s what we’ve heard from our neighbors this past year. The rising cost of living and impacts of inflation have left hundreds of thousands of people in our region facing impossible choices between having enough to eat and having heat, medication, housing, or reliable transportation. As more people turn to us and our partners for nourishment, we are operating with too little space and reduced federal support on top of the challenges of inflation. We need to do more, and we have a bold, audacious plan to do exactly that. This winter, Food Bank of the Rockies is opening a brand-new, purpose-built distribution center. This new building, located just east of our current Denver facility, will mean nourishing more people; collaboration opportunities with partners to meet community needs and challenges; addressing the root causes of food insecurity through workforce training programs and community partnerships; and much more. With support from people like you, the possibilities enabled by this new facility are endless. In this annual report, you will learn more about the new distribution center, encounter stories from our community members, and discover how Food Bank of the Rockies showed up for our neighbors when they needed us most this past year. Together as a community committed to ending hunger, we are building a legacy of hunger relief for our neighbors today, tomorrow, and for generations to come. Thank you for joining us on this journey.
