Colorado Egg Producers donate more than 300,000 eggs to local food banks
The Colorado Egg Producer Association member farms partnered up with Feeding Colorado and our local food banks, to donate more than 300,000 eggs—ensuring those in need had eggs in time for the Easter holiday.
While this marks the 11th year that CEP has partnered with Feeding Colorado for Easter, it’s estimated that Colorado’s local egg farms altogether donate about 1 million eggs annually to the state’s food banks through their regular, year-round donations.
Hickman Family Farms, Morning Fresh Farms, NestFresh, Opal Foods and Sparboe Farms are the local operations that produced and donated the farm-fresh eggs to Feeding Colorado’s food banks for Easter this year.
“The farms that make up the Colorado Egg Producers Association take seriously the fact that one in seven Coloradans don’t have enough food to meet their basic needs, and we strive to assist those families—not only during Easter, but year-round,” said CEP Executive Director Bill Scebbi.
