Denver Food Rescue

Last week we said goodbye to our lovely University of Denver MSW Interns. 🥹

These three were a great addition to our team helping us with office tasks, data collection/organization, and food rescues and distribution.

Delaney, Noah, and Kris thank you so much for bringing great energy to our office, always willing to help out, and working hard to provide people with fresh food. We will miss you greatly. Our whole team wishes you luck in your next endeavors. 🫶
