Summer mobile food pantries hosted by Food Bank of the Rockies have become increasingly busy with both kids out of school for the summer and the end of the COVID-19 national public health emergency.
"When school's out for the summer, parents might have a more challenging time finding regular meals for their kids who may be getting breakfast at school, lunch at school and then snacks after school," explained Aditi Desai, chief marketing officer for Food Bank of the Rockies."Since then, Food Bank of the Rockies has seen a 40 to 60% increase of individuals attending our mobile pantries. We're feeling that increase across the board.
Several local food assistance programs and nonprofits met Friday with U.S. Rep. Yadira Caraveo, D-Adams County, to share what they've been seeing. Rep. Caraveo introduced the"Keep Families Fed Act" in April, however, there's been no movement on the bill in Congress. She said she'll be taking feedback from the round table back to DC as she works with other members of the House Agriculture Committee to draft this year's Farm Bill. Funding from the Farm Bill could go to programs like SNAP.
