Become a Hunger-Relief Advocate
The Food Bank for Larimer County and our partner agencies are on the front lines of hunger. We hear the stories. We understand the struggles. And we are committed to finding solutions. We want state and federal lawmakers to understand the issues facing the people we serve, and how they can help. Because our voices are stronger together, we coordinate our advocacy and public policy work through Feeding Colorado, the state association of the five Feeding America food banks serving all of Colorado and Wyoming.

Feeding Colorado's Priorities for 2023
Feeding Colorado’s policy agenda is tied to our mission of supporting people experiencing food insecurity and reducing the number of people needing food assistance, driven by information from neighbors who experience hunger, supported with data and analysis; external of partisan politics; focused on the areas in which our involvement will have the most impact, and coordinated with other coalitions and organizations to determine what unique voice we may bring to an issue.
- Champion an End to Childhood Hunger
- Protect and Strengthen Programs that Fight Hunger
- Increase Access to Healthy Food
- Encourage Charity
