Food Insecurity Crisis in Colorado
Coloradans are struggling to access food assistance as the suspension of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) looms, leaving food banks overwhelmed and understocked.
Jasmine Kendall, a 34-year-old single mom, is one of those affected. With only $86 left in her bank account, she is facing the possibility of losing her subsidized housing in Denver 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 works as a registered behavioral therapist, earning $21 an hour, but her housing assistance is at risk, covering only a portion of her $3,000 monthly rent.
- Empty gas tank

- Limited financial resources
State and local leaders, as well as food bank operators, are scrambling to meet the overwhelming demand for food assistance.
