IT TAKES MORE THAN FOOD TO FIGHT HUNGER

Feeding Colorado and our partner agencies are on the front lines of hunger. We all have a stake in ensuring our neighbors have enough to eat. Every day, elected officials in Congress, state legislators, and local leaders shape the state of hunger. Join us in advocating for programs and policies that address the many factors that contribute to food insecurity. 

Sign up below to receive action alerts, our newsletter, and to hear about opportunities to advocate at the federal and state levels to support programs that impact food insecurity.

Propositions LL and MM

Feeding Colorado supports propositions LL and MM. Prop LL approves retaining and spending excess tax revenue collected for Healthy School Meals for All, while Prop MM seeks to raise additional state income tax on income earners above $300,000 to ensure the program is fully funded. No child should go hungry because they can’t afford a nutritious meal -children shouldn’t have to worry about the cost of lunch or skip a meal because their family can’t afford it. Prop MM will also direct essential resources to SNAP, a program that supports more than 610,000 Coloradans to afford groceries each month. This is particularly important following millions of dollars in federal cuts. Feeding Colorado’s 2025 policy priorities include supporting a sustainable Healthy School Meals for All program.
