Even after a food bank that serves Boulder and Broomfield counties lost 1,500 pounds of food, including 45 gallons of milk, in the power outage – the agency is still working to help thousands of families who lost spoiled food from the April windstorm.
Staff with Community Food Share said the quick work of staff to seal up their food helped salvage the majority of it.
“We were actually able to salvage almost all of the food that was in our freezers and our refrigerators. Which we’re so thankful for that because that was about $80,000 worth of food,” said Kim Da Silva, the CEO of Community Food Share. “And then we went in and tested a whole bunch of our food to make sure all the temps were within range of safe food distribution.”
