Food bank opens mobile pantry location at fairgrounds

Food Bank of the Rockies Western Slope has launched a new mobile pantry location at the Mesa County Fairgrounds.

The pantry will be open from 5 to 7 p.m. the second Monday of every month at the fairgrounds at 2785 U.S. Highway 50 in Grand Junction.

“We would like to thank Mesa County Fairgrounds for the donation of the space to meet the needs of the Orchard Mesa Community. With this new mobile pantry location, we are able to help meet the needs of people in the community who need help the most,” said Gabriela Garayar, development manager for Food Bank of the Rockies Western Slope.

Food Bank of the Rockies operates more than 70 mobile pantries across Colorado and Wyoming. For more information, visit www.foodbankrockies.org or call 2-1-1.
