Please note that we have adjusted the time to avoid the heat of the day.
Food pantry visits continue to rise as a result of increasing grocery prices, higher costs for everyday necessities, job losses, gas prices that make it costly to even get to work, and health challenges that limit people’s ability to work. As the need for assistance continues to grow, public funding is being diverted toward an unprovoked war and other questionable government priorities. Federal assistance for people in need of food support has become a low priority.
We are collecting groceries and hygiene items to donate to Integrated Family Community Services (IFCS), a local food pantry that has partnered with the community to alleviate hunger since 1964. IFCS helps supplement the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly called food stamps).
IFCS welcomes any unopened grocery item with an expiration date of 2025 or later. They especially appreciate items that cannot be purchased with SNAP, such as toiletries, feminine hygiene items, and diapers. Please don’t donate anything you wouldn’t offer as a gift to a neighbor, as these ARE our neighbors!
Not sure what to donate? Protein is an important part of aa healthy diet. Top ten items requested: 1. Pasta 2. Rice 3. Canned beans 4. Canned tomatoes 5. Mac and Cheese 6. Canned tuna/meat 7. Cereal 8. Peanut Butter 9. Jelly 10. Ramen
Please Note: We are NOT accepting financial contributions. If you can provide financial support, please contact IFCS directly (ifcs.org), contribute to a food collection drive of your choice, or donate through www.coloradogives.org
We are all living under a cloud of uncertainty and rising prices these days. Imagine living with rising prices plus food insecurity, losing your source of income, your ability to even get to your job, and/or under a constant threat of you or a family member being unlawfully apprehended by ICE or CBP. If you can help, please do.
Your contributions make a difference in people’s lives. In 2025, over 48,000 people picked up groceries from IFCS. That number doesn’t include the number of children and frail or elderly people who were at home, and it doesn’t include the other necessities provided by IFCS (e.g. diapers for small children, sanitary supplies, etc.)
Thank you for caring!
