Annual Community Food Drive 

October 4, 5 & 6

We are thrilled to continue this community-wide effort of gathering food and monetary donations for our neighbors in need.

Donations Needed!

Donate Food

Your donation of non-perishable food helps feed hungry families in the Denver metro area.

MVPs of Food Drives

  • Peanut Butter

  • Canned Soup

  • Beans

  • Canned Goods: Meat, Fruit, Vegetables, etc.

  • Pasta & Pasta Sauce

  • Mac & Cheese / Boxed Meals

  • Cereal

  • Juices (non-perishable)

Donate Money

Your monetary donation will go toward the purchase of food and necessities for the Food Exchange Resource Network, which supports many food pantries in the Denver metro area. FERN acts as the food bank that these food pantries rely on.

While both food and money are highly regarded and appreciated, monetary donations go further in terms of helping those in need.

“I was hungry and you gave me food to eat…Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.”

Matthew 25: 35-40
