Denver Day of Rock event to help benefit Food Bank of the Rockies this year!
It’s hard for most of us to imagine, but every day in our community, more than 300,000 people worry about where they will find their next meal. Hunger is very real and Food Bank of the Rockies is fighting to ensure no one goes without needed nutrition. 1 in 7 Colorado citizens live with food insecurity and struggle to meet their basic food needs. Hunger is especially hard on children, who make up 42% of the Food Bank’s clients and require proper nutrition to grow and learn. In today’s economy, the need for food assistance is increasing substantially.
This year at the 3rd Annual Denver Day of Rock, individuals will be asked to bring cans of non-perishable food in which will directly benefit Food Bank of the Rockies. During the event, there will be several bins at various locations along the 16th Street Mall where individuals can drop off cans of food. All food donated that day will go directly to FBR in order for them to continue to help feed our community and fight hunger. Who does your donation help?
42% of those receiving food assistance are children; 10% are children age 5 or younger. Seniors represent 5% of clients. Many recipients are the working poor. 42% of the households receiving food assistance from our agencies have at least one working adult. 14% of our recipients are homeless.
So come to the event and help Concerts For Kids and Food Bank of the Rockies fight hunger in our community!
