Good Neighbors Help to Ease Hunger in Small Community
According to the Colorado Health Institute, one out of every ten Coloradoans struggle with food insecurity. While residents across the state experience this issue, rural communities in particular are disproportionately affected. It is out of this critical need that Donna Stahley, a member of the Wiggins Community Church, started the Wiggins Food Bank in 2012.
Now the food bank director, Stahley and her dedicated group of volunteers have delivered much-needed donated nonperishable items, as well as fresh items such as meat, milk, cheese, and vegetables to people in the small town, as well as to the neighboring communities of Weldon, Orchard, and Hoyt, Colorado.
