“In 2019, one in 10 Coloradans (9.6%) experienced food insecurity, defined as eating less than they felt they should in the past year because there was not enough money for food.”
- From 2019 Colorado Health Access Survey
Join CVA on Friday, February 4, 5:30pm, for the unveiling of a new paper-skin mural by Denver artist Sammy Lee. Bolt Down: our narrative of food insecurity is a temporary mural project based on food insecurity in Colorado. With this project, Lee hopes to highlight the inequality and injustice issues related to Coloradans’ access to food. Sammy Lee will give a short talk about the project and answer questions from visitors.
With young adults aged 19-29 being the age group most affected by food insecurity (14.5%), CVA has partnered with the Roadrunner Food Pantry, who will be collecting food donations throughout the evening for MSU Denver students experiencing food insecurity.
Please join us for this free event and bring non-perishable food items for the Roadrunner Food Pantry.
