Zipaquirá’s Food Bank now reaches 3,500 campesino families a month, proving hunger is less about scarcity than about will and logistics.
A Warehouse of Second ChancesLess than a decade ago, Zipaquirá’s Food Bank was small, serving just 500 families with a handful of staff.
“We are rural, completely rural: Ninety-five percent of our niche is campesino families,” she told EFE.
In this way, the food bank becomes a hub for community triage, escalating problems that even local authorities had overlooked.
Zipaquirá’s hospitality industry draws millions of visitors, while the food bank practices another kind of hospitality—no tickets, no turnstiles, only quiet dignity.
