The Food Bank of the Rockies Western Slope branch has expanded its service area to include Ouray County, making it easier for the Ouray County Food Pantry to receive and distribute food to those in need.
This partnership allows the pantry to receive food from the larger food bank, making deliveries more reliable, especially during winter, says the Ouray Plaindealer. They will also collaborate on U.S. Department of Agriculture programs, including emergency food assistance and food distribution for older adults.
While the quality and quantity of food won't significantly change, this partnership is expected to improve the pantry's operations.
