After this week's election, feelings are high, to say the least. Our emotions are raw and intense as we look out for our and our community members' futures. In these moments, we look to what inspires us to keep moving. On Tuesday, one of our local ranchers dropped off 400+ pounds of locally raised beef, a partnership over a year in the making. Despite the heavy snowfall and post-election feelings on Wednesday, volunteers showed up in FULL force to help our community. On Thursday, we spent time in our monthly staff meeting to shout out wins and celebrations, the reasons we love our community and stay in this work. We're inspired by our community's willingness to show up time and time again. Because at the end of the day, folks are still hungry, and we won't quit until chronic hunger is long forgotten experience. Metro Caring has been around for 50 years, persisting and progressing in our mission through a variety of federal administrations, global catastrophes, and new challenges. We will continue to adapt our approach, organize our leaders, and care for our community no matter what. And we're grateful to you for making it possible.

As we take a moment to reflect on this year's election, we’re excited to share some great news for our community here in Denver and across Colorado. Metro Caring is proud to announce that 4 out of the 5 community-endorsed ballot measures were voted in favor of protecting and uplifting our community’s interests! These wins bring us closer to a more equitable and caring future, and we couldn’t have done it without the dedication and voices of our neighbors. There’s more work to come, but for today, let’s celebrate this important step forward together.
