FOOD BANK OF THE ROCKIES PARTNERSHIP
Natural Grocers has partnered with Food Bank of the Rockies across its Colorado stores for over a decade through its "Bring Your Own Bag" program. This community outreach extends to the Cherry Knolls location. Each time a customer brings their own shopping bag, Natural Grocers donates five cents per shopping trip to the Food Bank, which provides food and necessities to people in need across Colorado and Wyoming. Through contributions raised from the "Bring Your Own Bag" program and donated food, Natural Grocers has provided more than 3 million meals to individuals experiencing food insecurity in Colorado and Wyoming.

"Right now, 1 in 8 people in the communities we serve lives with food insecurity — that includes 1 in 7 children," said Erin Pulling, Food Bank of the Rockies President and CEO. "With federal support significantly decreasing in the past year and the needs of our neighbors increasing due to reduced or lost Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits caused by programmatic changes, we are relying on the generosity of our community more than ever. That's why we're incredibly grateful for partners like Natural Grocers who are helping us ignite the power of community."

Having made a special $2,500 donation to Food Bank of the Rockies, Natural Grocers will present a commemorative check at the opening ceremonies to raise awareness of this partnership and encourage the community to join in nourishing their neighbors.
