JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. â If passion could feed the hungry, Barbara Moore would eliminate food insecurity all together. Thereâs a Hebrew term called Tikunn olam, which means how much should you help somebody? Well, we should help people until they donât need help anymore, Moore said to a room full of volunteers.
Moore, a former teacher, started JeffCo Eats four years ago to serve hungry kids in her county. Each week, they meet at a church in Jefferson County for what she calls the program s ICU where they intensively care for kids.
