Their Mission: We help families thrive by efficiently procuring and distributing food and essentials to the hungry through our programs and partner agencies.
We are excited to announce that our agency has selected Food Bank of the Rockies as our third quarter (July, August and September) Charity of the Quarter again in 2022! During these months we will donate $10.00 for every referral we receive to Food Bank of the Rockies (FBR). We created our continuing referral program in order to support the charitable work of numerous non-profit organizations. We are very excited to raise support for FBR.
Since mid-March of 2020, Food Bank of the Rockies has seen an entirely new level of food insecurity in our communities, and with national and global tragedies, soaring inflation, and the continued challenges to people’s physical and mental health, Food Bank of the Rockies’ work is more critically needed now than perhaps ever before. They have provided millions of pounds to thousands of people throughout Colorado and Wyoming. They are are serving many people who have lost their jobs and are facing food insecurity for the first time due to Covid-19. More than 30 percent of the people they’re serving report never needing food assistance before this crisis, and families who were already vulnerable have found themselves in dire need.
Food Bank of the Rockies runs a very efficient organization, using less than 4 cents of every dollar for administration. 96 cents of every dollar contributed goes towards food distribution. And every dollar they receive provides four meals for our hungry Coloradans.
RSS will not only be donating $10 for every referral we receive, but will also be partnering with Food Bank of the Rockies numerous other ways over the coming months.
We will keep you updated on opportunities to participate with us over the next couple of months. Our agency looks forward to partnering with Food Bank of the Rockies, supporting their organization, helping those in dire need right now, and promoting their mission in Colorado.
