La Puente's Food Bank Network of the San Luis Valley is a made up of 15 food pantries that strive to fight hunger and create access to food in our rural frontier communities by providing nutritious emergency food to help ensure over 10,000 of our neighbors don't have to go to bed hungry.
Throughout the San Luis Valley isolation, poverty, geographic expanse, and limited economic opportunities give way to great human needs. As a result, food insecurity is rampant. Individuals and families often find themselves choosing between buying groceries and paying other bills. Rising food insecurity is a growing reality nationwide and in the rural San Luis Valley that increasing need is no different. An average of 1 in 4 living in the Valley utilize the Food Bank Network at some point during the year and COVID-19 has seen an increase in the need for emergency food.
Help us continue to feed families in the San Luis Valley, we couldn't do it without compassionte people like you!
