Hunger Free Colorado is hosting a virtual Hike to End Hunger on Saturday, June 5 to help raise awareness and funds to address hunger in our state. Denver7 is proud to support this event, which provides an opportunity for the community to virtually come together to support our neighbors who are experiencing hunger.
What does hunger look like in Colorado? Prior to our current health crisis, one in 11 Coloradans struggled to make ends meet and put food on the table. Now itâs estimated about one-third of Colorado households are worried about putting food on the table. Fortunately, resources exist to help those facing hunger, and the state has taken steps to make accessing nutrition programs easier.

DENVER â Everyone is at their best when they have enough to eat, but life stormsâlike an unexpected pandemicâcan make it difficult for Coloradans to afford healthy food.
Community resources like SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps) exist to ensure families and individuals living on a limited income have access to the food they need for their health and well-being. SNAP provides the support needed to weather this storm and the opportunity for those in need to buy food at grocery stores and farmers markets.
