Denver7 is once again teaming up with Food Bank of the Rockies for 7 Days to Help End Hunger. The weeklong campaign, running Sept. 28-Oct. 4, 2026, raises crucial funds to help address food insecurity across Colorado.

The level of food insecurity has been steadily increasing every year since the pandemic as individuals and families have been navigating rising costs of food, housing, insurance, utilities and more. At the same time, government food support programs have also been cut in recent years, leading more neighbors in our region to turn to Food Bank of the Rockies and their Hunger Relief Partners for food. Last year, they distributed enough food for close to 73 million meals to nearly 400,000 people.
Food Bank of the Rockies works with more than 700 Hunger Relief Partners – local food pantries and community groups – to reach people facing food insecurity where they are. And to get them the nutritious food they need. Food Bank of the Rockies direct service programs include mobile pantries and home delivery services that bring food boxes straight to the doorsteps of people who need them most.
