Totes of Hope® Partners – Hand out Double the Totes before the
Holiday Break!
With the holidays quickly
approaching, we want to make sure kids are getting food to last during the holiday
break from school. We are more than
happy to accommodate a double pick-up the week before their holiday break. If you’re interested, contact Zach Kellerman,
303-375-5865, zkellerman@foodbankrockies.org
Watch Out!
Big Trucks and Picking Up
Our warehouse and parking lot are busy places. When picking up
your order, watch out for other vehicles and use caution around large tractor
trailers. When large trucks are docking, be patient and allow them to finish
their maneuvers and dock before driving in front of or behind them. Please wait
for them to wave your vehicle through or make sure the truck comes to a complete
stop before you pass them. Share this
reminder with all your shoppers and drivers. Let’s have a safe winter!
Have You
Met Brittany?
Our Outreach Division is excited to introduce Brittany
Feltenberger, our newest Outreach Representative. Brittany was drawn to FBR after learning
about how we help while working at one of our partner agencies. She grew up in a military family and moved
often. Living in Colorado about 6 years, Brittany enjoys hiking and spending
time with her dogs. Her favorite part
about working at Food Bank of the Rockies is the family feel we have in the
organization. Please join us in
welcoming her to the team.

Winter Nutrition – Eating Healthy To Protect Our Bodies
During The Cold Months
During the winter months it can be
hard for people to maintain a well-balanced diet. From holiday food to heavy
comfort food, this time of year is especially challenging. Below is a list of
vitamin packed and nutrient filled foods to help support our bodies and immune
systems during a time when germs are at a high.
Vitamin
C-
The benefits: Vitamin C
has the ability to boost immune systems. A healthy immune system is the first
light of defense when our bodies are fighting off viruses.
Foods containing vitamin C: Citrus,
broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, leafy greens such as spinach, kale, and
butter lettuce. *For health concerns,
please avoid romaine lettuce.
Foods
Rich in Iron-
The benefits: Iron helps to preserve many functions in
the body, including general energy and focus, gastrointestinal processes, the
immune system, and the regulation of body temperature.
Foods
high in Iron: Legumes, red meat, tofu, lentils,
dark chocolate, nuts, dried apricots, broccoli, spinach, and turkey.
Remember,
eat well and stay healthy this winter!
This will make the holidays more enjoyable.
