Our Impact

Backpack Program

67174

food packages were distributed to
children this past year.

The Backpack Program provides food for children who are at risk for hunger over the weekend. Volunteers help us fill the packs with child friendly foods before they are delivered at schools and our child feeding sites. During the school year, we work with school counselors and teachers to identify students who are in great need of food over the weekend. Over the summer, we provide these food packs at our Summer Feeding sites and through our Emergency Food Program.

Currently, the Backpack Program operates in:

  • Berthoud
  • Dacono
  • Eaton
  • Erie
  • Evans
  • Firestone
  • Fort Lupton
  • Frederick
  • Galeton
  • Gilcrest
  • Greeley
  • Grover
  • Hudson
  • Johnstown
  • Keenesburg
  • Kersey
  • LaSalle

🚧⚠️Construction Alert⚠️🚧
 
The City of Greeley is continuing major road construction near our warehouse. The intersection of 11th Avenue and H Street remains closed during Phase 3, which begins April 22 and is estimated to end on April 30, 2026. In this next phase, the closure on H Street is extending westward and will completely block the entrance to our east parking lot. Please refer to this flier for more information about the project and a map of the detour.
 
This will not impact our hours of operation, nor our ability to serve our community!
 
We thank you for your patience during this time!
