Food Security

On October 9, 2016 we hosted the very first “mobile food pantry” in Larimer County. Our church provides equipment, space and volunteer staff to operate this food distribution to our friends and neighbors who struggle to feed their families. Foothills also provides funds to cover a portion of the food that is distributed. On average we serve 100 households at each pantry, including many children and seniors. We are so glad to have helped fill this gap in our community!

Need food? You are invited to the mobile food pantry. All are welcome.
