Recent statistics show about one in seven Americans struggle with food insecurity, making food banks an essential lifeline for individuals and families in need.

That’s why FirstBank, longtime champion of “banking for good,” is giving back with a $60,000 donation to several local food banks, supporting communities across Colorado and Arizona. The funds will assist organizations like Food Bank of the Rockies, Weld Food Bank, Food Bank for Larimer County, Valley of the Sun YMCA, and more.

“This support will make a tangible difference for families who are struggling to put food on the table,” said Nicole Staudinger, FirstBank Northern Colorado Market President. “At FirstBank, giving back is part of who we are, and we’re grateful to partner with organizations that uplift our communities.”

This donation builds on FirstBank’s long-standing commitment to local nonprofits. In fact, the bank partnered with the Colorado Gives Foundation in 2010 to create Colorado Gives Day. Since then, the online giving movement has raised over $500 million for local nonprofits, many of which are local food banks.

Giving, whether through monetary donations, food, or volunteer time, reminds us that when communities come together, they can make a real difference.
