GUNNISON COUNTRY FOOD PANTRY
PARTNERSHIP
Natural Grocers will partner with the Gunnison Country Food
Pantry (GCFP) for its "Bring Your Own Bag Program" to serve
people in Gunnison facing hunger.
Each time a customer brings their own shopping bag, Natural Grocers
will donate five cents per shopping
trip to this organization.
GCFP provides low-barrier food access within the community by
providing a variety of helpful services. In 2023, the Pantry
provided food assistance to 2,185 persons (or 1,082
households).
"Like other resort communities, Gunnison Valley has a
significant working class and transitory population. The last
Government census (2019) showed that Gunnison County's median household income was
33% lower than the state's, 13% of residents live below the federal
poverty line, and 30-45% of residents live below the
Self-Sufficiency standard," said Jodi
Payne, Director of the Gunnison Country Food Pantry.
"Fortunately, GCFP has an amazing track record of keeping food
within reach of our neighbors. We couldn't do it without the 30+
community partners and over 200 volunteers annually, who contribute
time and resources! It takes a village, and we are grateful for
ours. We welcome Natural Grocers as a new community partner and
look forward to working together to further the Pantry's
mission."
