Lindsey Vonn, Olympic Ski Racer

"Colorado is near and dear to me. I understand that there are many Coloradans who don't always know where their next meal is coming from and I can't imagine the feelings that are associated with fearing hunger.  I'm fortunate enough to be in a position where I can offer support for those in need and through Food Bank of the Rockies, I hope to offer my talents and voice in fighting hunger and feeding hope for so many Coloradans who need food assistance."
