Food resources in Denver? (also a DHS rant...thanks for listening)
Hi everyone. So it seems our highly dedicated and professional Department of Human Services lost our paperwork yet again (I emailed it, faxed it AND hand-delivered it this time). They also didn't bother to send us a notice that they were missing it, despite having a working postal address for us. We found out we've been cut off by logging in and seeing an empty account. 
So now I have $50 to feed three people for at least a month, possibly more (since that's how long it takes them to fix their own mistakes...federal law says that any mistakes have to be resolved in 30 days...HA! They've done this three times already, every time our info changes, and it's never taken less than 45 days).
I may be able to yell at DHS enough that they'll give us a food voucher (not really yelling, mind, just asking politely why it is too damn difficult for them to DO THEIR JOBS the way that FEDERAL LAW requires), but that's not assured.
Anybody know any food resources in Denver? Food banks or otherwise? I know of a few but not many, and most of the ones I know about give you shopping bags of candy and Twinkies. I told the DHS people that and the guy just scoffed and said "they aren't giving out candy, nobody goes hungry in Denver" and showed me the door. Yeah, you believe that if it'll make you feel better, chum. YOU go home to a fridge full of food.
