What happened
The Food Bank of the Rockies is seeing increased demand across its service area as families prepare for the holiday season. According to Amber Henning, director of development, the organization is spending approximately $25,000 more each month than previously reported to maintain its current level of service. These higher expenses are attributed to rising fuel, freight, and food costs.
