What is food insecurity? It is the inability to access enough food for an active, healthy life. Unfortunately, it’s an issue that affects many families in our state. In fact, 33% of Coloradoans lack reliable access to nutritious foods, and 16% of Colorado children are not getting adequate nutrition due to financial constraints.
These are shocking statistics that highlight the need for action. The good news is that there are resources available to help. We believe that every child deserves access to healthy food, and we’re here to provide support and guidance to families in need.
