You can tell it’s spring time at the food bank when the Easter Bunny pays a visit and the warehouse fills with eggs. Colorado Egg farmers are filling tummies with nutritious eggs in what’s becoming an annual tradition.
This year, the Colorado Egg Producers (CEP) Association donated nearly 325,000 eggs to food banks throughout Colorado, including 140,000 to Food Bank of the Rockies. The Easter Bunny made a special appearance at FBR, entertaining children and partner agencies who came to pick up their Easter eggs. The CEP team cooked and served free omelets to all the families, guests and organizations in attendance. “The Colorado Egg Producers Association is thrilled to be involved with such a truly great event,” said Jerry Wilkins of the Colorado Egg Producers. “As egg farmers, we feel it is important for us to provide eggs to those in need, especially during these tough economic times. Every Colorado family deserves to have eggs for the Easter holiday.”
We send out a big Thank You to our local egg producers for their generous donation and to the Easter Bunny for stopping by on his busiest week of the year. We appreciate you!
