Hunger Heroes
Last spring, the Johnstown Community YMCA, in collaboration with several community members, the United Methodist Church of Johnstown, and the Roosevelt High School Interact Club, launched the Hunger Heroes program.
This program is an initiative supporting our food insecure youth in the Weld School District RE-5J. Each week, volunteers work with the Weld County Food Bank to secure enough food to provide over 100 students with needed nutrition over the weekend. Hunger Heroes organized and assembled bags and backpacks of food that were then delivered to each school. The Hunger Heroes recently added the local fire and police departments to their partnership. Each week, staff from local stations deliver the back packs to the schools.
