The Food Bank for Larimer County and our partner agencies are on the front lines of hunger when it comes to food security advocacy. We hear the stories, understand the struggles, and then we look for solutions.
We need elected state and federal lawmakers to understand the issues facing the people we serve, so they know how they can help.
Because our voices are stronger together, we coordinate advocacy and public policy work through Feeding Colorado, the state association of the five Feeding America food banks serving all of Colorado and Wyoming.
Reach out to your elected officials and tell them why you care about ending hunger. Tell them, without reservation, why you support food security advocacy and ask them to support it, too.

This organization’s policy agenda supports the FBLC mission to end hunger. Therefore, it’s important to us.
The bipartisan policy agenda is driven by measureable, data-supported information about people in our communities who experience hunger. It’s focused on the areas we can have the greatest impact.
We coordinate with other coalitions and organizations to determine what unique voice we bring to the conversation.
Members of Congress make key decisions about federal nutrition programs. These include the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), the National School Breakfast, and School Lunch Programs, and more. Therefore, our work with them is essential.
