Care And Share Food Bank Makes Strides Toward Goal Of Feeding 63,000 More Over 5 Years

Care and Share Food Bank for Southern Colorado's campaign to feed 63,000 more people over five years might just hold true to its name.The nonprofit fed 14,000 more people during the first year of its five-year campaign titled "Within Reach" - just slightly ahead of the needed pace to reach its goal, said Shannon Coker, Care and Share's spokeswoman.The campaign aims to meet the needs of hungry people across the 31 counties overseen by Care and Share.Last year, the Colorado Springs-based nonprofit estimated that 15 percent of the 1,102,600 people in its coverage area were "food insecure" - meaning they didn't know where they would get their next meal.
