Food Bank of the Rockies said the gift will allow them to purchase enough food for 75,000 meals.
DENVER — Taylor Swift made a"generous" donation to the Food Bank of the Rockies before she took the stage at Empower Field Friday.
Food Bank of the Rockies said in its announcement that the gift will allow them to purchase enough food for 75,000 meals. The gift comes at a critical time due to rising costs impacting families' abilities to put food on the table, according to the organization. The food bank, citing Feeding America, said one in 11 people are estimated to be experiencing hunger in the region.
Food Bank of the Rockies is seeing 40 to 60 percent more attendees at its mobile pantries compared to this time last year. “We are seeing more need now than we ever have before. This is hitting Food Bank of the Rockies’ budget hard. To meet the needs of our neighbors experiencing hunger, we are spending triple what we were pre-COVID on food purchasing every month,” said Aditi Desai, chief marketing officer at Food Bank of the Rockies, in a statement. “We’ve been able to meet the increased demand thanks to the generosity of individuals like Taylor Swift.
