Ending hunger at its root.
As a leading anti-hunger organization in Colorado, Metro Caring works with our community to meet people’s immediate need for nutritious, culturally relevant food while building a movement to end hunger at its root causes.

Everyone deserves access to fresh, healthy foods. We welcome anyone to shop in our free grocery store stocked with locally sourced and donated products.

Our Impact
Shoulder-to-shoulder with our community, we are reimagining our local food system. By reversing health and economic trends for those hit hardest by food insecurity and empowering community leaders to fight for better policies, we can uproot the systems that force people to go hungry.
