Our Mission
Igniting the Power of Community to Nourish People Facing Hunger
Food Bank of the Rockies is the largest hunger-relief organization in the Rocky Mountain region, making us uniquely suited to answer the enormous challenge of hunger. Since 1978, we’ve put the power of community to work for our neighbors in need through partnerships, programs, and support from people like you.
Our mission is to ignite the power of community to nourish people facing food insecurity. We show up for anyone experiencing hunger knowing that food insecurity can impact any of us at various points throughout our lives. The circumstances of the people we support may be different, but we never waver from our mission of nourishing our community members in need of food.
How Our Food Bank Works
Making a Difference, Together
We distribute enough food for upwards of 185,000 meals every day. But for community members in need, we provide more than just food. We offer hope and open up a future. Because when you can’t provide for your family today, it’s hard to even think about tomorrow.
Our Programs
From Hunger Relief Partners to Mobile Pantries
We coordinate with more than 800 Hunger Relief Partners throughout Colorado and Wyoming, acting as a distribution hub for food, essentials, and logistical resources. We also operate our own direct programs, providing for our neighbors in need through Mobile Pantries, Food for Kids programs, and home-delivery services for older adults. Everything we do is fueled by the support of our community and donors.
