Coloradans Struggle with Food Insecurity
State and local leaders in Colorado, along with food bank operators, are working to meet the overwhelming demand for food assistance as the suspension of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) looms.
A single mom, Jasmine Kendall, is facing a difficult situation. With only $86 left in her bank account, she is struggling to feed her family. She works as a registered behavioral therapist, caring for kids with autism, but her housing assistance is at risk due to a lack of federal funding.
Her life feels like a cruel word problem she’s struggling to solve — and the math is not in her favor.
Kendall's situation is not unique, as many Coloradans are facing similar struggles. Food banks are overwhelmed, and just don’t have enough to meet the demand.
Kendall's job pays $21 an hour, but her monthly rent is $3,000, and housing assistance typically covers only a portion of it.
