We Can All Help End Hunger

September is Hunger Action Month 

For us, adventuring with purpose is more than just the next trail ahead. It's also our commitment to community. To do our part during September, we’re hosting a “Gear Up for Good” fundraiser and snack drive for the Food Bank for Larimer County, Sept. 19-21, three full shopping days of which 15% goes to Food Bank for Larimer County. 

Hunger Action Month 

Feeding America established September as Hunger Action Month back in 2007. The goal for the month is to raise awareness and provide nutritious food to those facing hunger. Now in its eighteenth year, this initiative unites neighbors, volunteers and food banks across the US. 

Food insecurity touches every community across our nation including Northern Colorado where 11.9% of Larimer County residents face food insecurity. In fact, Food Bank for Larimer County, a Feeding America partner, provides food to more than 55,000 people each year.

Why It Matters 

“We are proud of the work we do, but we don’t do it alone. It takes partners, donors, supporters, a community -- and YOU – to achieve our goals,” said Amy Pezzani, CEO, Food Bank for Larimer County. “Our mission at the Food Bank for Larimer County is to provide food to all in need through community partnerships and hunger relief programs.”
