The mission of Feeding Colorado, which represents the five Feeding America Food Banks in the state, is to improve food security in Colorado through policy, advocacy, partnership, and education.
Our vision is a future where everyone in Colorado has equitable access to the food they need to thrive.
Our History
In 2001, the 5 food banks serving Colorado, through the Feeding America network, formed the Colorado Food Bank Association to formally collaborate and leverage their combined strengths to feed more people. The goal of the association was twofold. First, they worked to procure additional food resources from the State of Colorado and other statewide food donors. Second, they joined forces to coordinate advocacy on the state and federal levels in hopes of bringing additional awareness and support for the fight against hunger.
