The La Plata Family Center in partnership with the Care and Share Food Bank of Southwest Colorado are holding the event to help people deal with a change in their SNAP benefits that have ended or been reduced. This is the second food giveaway with over 600 people showing up at the last event, and the center hopes to hold one more. (Jerry McBride/Durango Herald)
