funds for food security

June 9, 2022

The Gunnison Country Food Pantry held its Pantry Palooza on June 5th at the I Bar Ranch to raise funds to provide food assistance in the Gunnison Valley. The fundraising event featured plenty of fun, including a bouncy
house, a petting zoo from West Elk Equine, face painting, food, and live music from Alternative People. The organization hopes to raise $600,000 by the end of 2022. Last year, they were able to provide food assistance to over 2,000 residents.
