City Council has approved the Hancock Administration proposal to provide financial relief for Denver families struggling with food insecurity resulting from the pandemic and recent rising costs. $1M in interest from the city’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding will be used to provide grocery store gift cards and support food box distribution events for families in need. “Rising costs for everything from groceries to gas are straining family budgets everywhere.
