On today's Elevating Pikes Peak Women, we're sitting down to discuss the the struggles for food in Colorado Springs.   Today, Mary Lou Makepeace sits down with Michelle Ray, Joanna Wise, and Natalia Avila to discuss what hunger looks like in our region and how it impacts women and families; the impact of inflation and the end of emergency allotments in SNAP benefits; the response to the increased need and demand from your and other local agencies; how can community members access food if they are in need; and how can listeners help reduce hunger in our community.

Our mission is to provide a platform where women in the Pikes Peak region can become engaged and discuss civic issues about which they care deeply. We’ve provided platforms to address healthcare reform, pay equity, community innovation, and investment, along with facilitating the meaningful contribution of women at all levels of business, government, and community. Issues may include women’s health and safety, challenges with career and family, or the actions of politicians for or against women’s rights. While such issues may be emotionally charged, we expect and maintain civility among all. We are committed to the deliberate recruitment and support of women in leadership positions and actively work on issues that make a difference. Pikes Peak Women is an independent organization, coordinated by volunteer effort. Learn more at: Pikes Peak Women Website Pikes Peak Women on Facebook Pikes Peak Women on Instagram Email Us
