FEMA Gave Weld Food Bank in Greeley Baby Items From $3M Supplies

According to a press release from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, on Monday the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) donated infant supplies worth $3 million to the state of Colorado.

Items provided by the generous donation include:

8,200 cases of formula
23,260 packages of diapers
53,167 packages of diaper wipes

These essentials, which are often either out of stock in regular retail locations or beyond the economic reach of those who have recently been laid off of work, will be delivered to a variety of food banks and family resources centers by the Feeding Task Force, which was founded on March 9 in response to shortages caused by COVID-19.

“We are proud to be leading the Statewide Feeding Task Force and are encouraged by the statewide coordination with partners to identify needs and collaborate to meet them.”
Colorado Department of Human Services Executive Director Michelle Barnes.
