We're following this survey throughout the day and into tomorrow. Tune in to News5 at 4 p.m. as we review the results!
Editor's note: This survey is not based on scientific, representative samples and is solely for KOAA purposes.
Some of our own neighbors in Southern Colorado are feeling the pressure from a lack of accessible food.
The Avondale Loaf'N'Jug closed down after a string of robberies. Residents now must drive more close to ten miles to reach the nearest store.
News5's Natalie Chuck will be following up with more information on News5 later in the day with more on the dearth of food available in Avondale.
