Monday Food Distribution Change

Fresh Foods Market is closed. Food boxes available!

To help more people affected by the delay in November SNAP benefits, the Fresh Foods Market will be closed on Mondays so that we can share prepackaged boxes of food in our parking lot. Boxes include items like rice, dried pinto beans, canned tomatoes, and fresh produce. Eggs, meat, and refrigerated items are also available. In need of groceries soon? We have extra food boxes available during our Monday afternoon times. Please come by on Mondays at 1:00 - 3:00pm or 4:00 - 6:00pm, even if you do not have an appointment. 

Colorado Gives Day is December 9

Help us continue to respond to our community by donating today! Your generosity continues to provide fresh, nutritious food to thousands of our neighbors.
