Catholic Charities of Denver and volunteers are quickly distributing 40,000 pounds of food to its shelters and area food banks as families face uncertainty and tighter budgets amid rising food costs this holiday season.

A semi-truck delivered 26 pallets of shelf-stable food and diapers November 16 before the Thanksgiving holiday to the Salvation Army Emergency Services Center in Aurora before being distributed. The food will alleviate the strain of costs for people living on the margins and struggling with homelessness.

The special delivery was made possible by John Griffin, a local Catholic and past volunteer for Catholic Charities, who is a member of Black 14. This is the second year Griffin has made the donation in concert with other members of Black 14, a civil rights group that was kicked off the University of Wyoming’s football team in 1969 for wanting to protest The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter–day Saints’ then–ban on allowing Black men to be priests.

More than 50 years later, Griffin and the LDS church has partnered to distribute food in the Denver area. As a part of their Mind, Body and Soul Initiative, the Black 14 members living in other states have also brought food and supplies to nearly a dozen under–served communities.
