Nearly 40,000 Weld County residents, half of whom are children, depend on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families. With the current government shutdown, all benefits are on hold beginning in November, leaving many people in our community with nowhere to turn but to food banks and community pantries. We are already seeing historic numbers, and we do not have the means to meet this additional need adequately. With your donation, you can help us have as many food resources as possible for our neighbors.
Every dollar given to Weld Food Bank through Next’s Word of Thanks giving campaign equals $6 of nutritious groceries!
