Black Friday isn’t just about shopping deals this year; it’s also a time for giving back.
Through creative partnerships and charitable contributions, they are helping fight hunger during the holiday season.
Adventurist Backpack Company’s Impact
Adventurist Backpack Company, based in Denver, is using its minimalist designs to provide more than just storage space—they’re also providing meals for families in need.
For every backpack sold, the company donates 25 meals through Feeding America, a year-round commitment they have upheld since 2017.
This Black Friday weekend, the company is going even further.
From November 29 to December 2, they are matching every meal donated through their sales, doubling the impact.
Each backpack purchase during this period will result in 50 meals being provided to families across the U.S., helping more people than ever during the holiday season.
Breckenridge Brewery’s Holiday Contribution
Breckenridge Brewery in Littleton is spreading holiday cheer through its popular Christmas Ale.
For every pint or package sold in November and December, the brewery donates a meal to the Food Bank of the Rockies.
This partnership has been a staple of their holiday season, combining festive flavors with a commitment to helping others.
Over the past four years, sales of Christmas Ale have contributed more than 1,000 meals to the food bank.
By encouraging customers to purchase this seasonal favorite, the brewery is using its reach to fight hunger while bringing joy to its patrons.
Food Bank of the Rockies’ Role in Fighting Hunger
As the holiday season brings increased demand, the Food Bank of the Rockies steps up its efforts to provide for those in need.
During this time, the organization sees longer lines at its mobile pantries and distributes more food to meet the community’s needs.
Partnerships with businesses like Adventurist Backpack Company and Breckenridge Brewery are crucial in these efforts.
Monetary donations are especially impactful, allowing the food bank to stretch each dollar further.
Every $1 donated helps provide three meals, thanks to their ability to purchase food at reduced prices.
Through these collaborations, the Food Bank of the Rockies continues to make a difference for neighbors facing hunger.
