We are over the hump! As I am waiting for our participants to send me their information from yesterday, I wanted to remind everyone why we are doing this. What is five days of sacrifice for us, is everyday life for too many people in our community. The number of SNAP applications in Larimer County increased 92.8% between 2006 and 2012. Please read the the article below to learn about upcoming cuts to the SNAP Program and the effects they will have on your Food Bank (We are a proud member of Feeding America.) Keep in mind when you are reading that the average Larimer County household receives $287 a month. The average Colorado household receives $305 a month.
