PARKER, Colo. — The fight against food insecurity starts with a small, free food market in the southeastern part of the Denver metro. SECOR Cares is a nonprofit based in Parker, with a mission of helping neighbor feed their families.
"Suburban poverty hides in plain sight," said Monica Aden, the volunteer coordinator with SECOR Cares."You think of Douglas County as being an affluent area, but the truth of the matter is, with the cost of living right now — you've got neighbors in crisis.""Volunteers absolutely make this place run," said Aden."Without our volunteers, this place doesn't open.""We've always wanted to put some effort into it," said Cheryl Hayes.
Cheryl Hayes supports families shopping in the market, while Larry Hayes' role stays behind the scenes. "I like the physical point ," said Larry Hayes."I like the warehouse, I like sorting things out and putting it out so people can have access to it.""We've been married for 50 years, going on 51," said Chery Hayes."I can truly say we are each other's best friends. Our faith has kept us focused, and that's also part of the reason why we're here.
