The Flagler Food Pantry was created to serve families and individuals who are suffering from a lack of nutritional food to make meals with. We service around 100-150 people/families twice a month. When we moved to Seibert, the number of people we served doubled and still growing. We continue to serve
individuals and families from Arriba, Flagler, Seibert, Vona, Stratton and some from Burlington. The increase in the number of clients that we serve has left our budget stretched beyond limits. We have rent, utilities, and insurance to pay now and also a whole lot more people to serve.
The bulk of our clients are elderly or disabled and unable to work. Their social security payments put them over the SNAP income limits. I have talked to individuals that are so thankful for what they get from us that they almost break down in tears. They use their social security for rent or housing payments and maintenance. With the cost of everything going up they don’t have the money to go into the grocery store and purchase the food they need to feed themselves and their families. We are in desperate need of financial support to continue what we have started; helping people in eastern Colorado.
