An effort to help people enroll in a hunger relief program has received financial assistance.

The Western Colorado Community Foundation awarded a $12,500 grant to the Hilltop Family Resource Center No One Should Go Hungry program.

The program helps people facing food insecurity to enroll in the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. More than 456,000 people in Colorado use the program to buy food each month.

The Family Resource Center located at 1129 Colorado Ave. in Grand Junction also provides a range of other services, including information on prenatal care, referrals for basic needs and screenings to identify health problems.

The Western Colorado Community Foundation manages more than $80 million in charitable funds to address community issues in seven Western Slope counties.
