Gunnison Country Times
February 20, 2025

Volunteers crowded into the Gunnison Country Food Pantry on Feb. 5 to help unload a semi truck filled with food. The donation comes from Alamosa on the first Wednesday of each month, courtesy of Care and Share of Southern Colorado, and provides nearly 80% of the pantry’s staple goods, including both fresh produce and canned non-perishable foods. Care and Share is a nonprofit food bank based in Colorado Springs. The pantry usually expects to receive between 5,000 to 9,000 pounds of food, but has received upwards of 15,000 pounds on a few occasions.
