To support both local agriculture and families in need across the state, Feeding Colorado, Colorado Proud and the Colorado Department of Agriculture, are coming together to set Colorado’s table for those who need it most.

To commemorate Colorado’s celebration of 150 years of statehood, Feeding Colorado will launch the “150 Colorado Agricultural Legacy Fund” to strengthen local food systems and feed families in need. The campaign runs from Colorado Day (Aug. 1) through Labor Day (Sept. 7) and aims to raise funds for purchasing Colorado made, raised or grown products to feed families through Feeding Colorado’s network of food banks and pantries.

To join Feeding Colorado, CDA, and Colorado Proud in supporting our local producers and neighbors, donate to the 150 Colorado Agricultural Legacy Fund at feedingcolorado.org/150aglegacy.
