The Emergency Food Bank at the Denver Inner City Parish is our longest running program and serves a strong need in the community. The clients who use our food bank range from low-income working families to homeless individuals.
The Food Bank of the Rockies – one of the places from which the Parish Emergency Food Bank receives food, has released a report by Mathematical Policy Research – Hunger in America – 2006.
The report is discouraging.
• 25 million people request emergency food in America, and 47% of them are forced to choose between paying for food and paying for heat
• 48% choose between paying for food and
paying for rent
• 51% of households receiving emergency food include at least one employed adult
• 14% of those receiving food are homeless
