Food Banks & Food Hubs - Opportunities for Our Colorado Proud Producers
Colorado Proud webinar series
Our panel will discuss the role food banks and food hubs play in delivering food to people in need, schools and restaurants across Colorado.
Panelists will also share why they focus on locally produced foods and how they work with Colorado farmers and producers to create resilient local food systems. We have two producers on the panel who will share why partnering with food banks and food hubs is an important part of their business plan, and provide advice to other Colorado producers and growers on how to make this type of partnership part of their business plan.

- Al Stone: Valley Roots Food Hub - Markets Manager & Mycelium Architect
- Roberto Meza: Co-Founder East Denver Food Hub
