by | Jun 30, 2021

 

Our website has been redesigned! These changes were made to help improve usability and better communicate the resources and work to end hunger. Continue reading to learn how our new site can help community members connect with resources, partnership opportunities and more!

NEW Self-Service Tool

Hunger Free Colorado is excited to introduce our new self-service tool! This is an easy-to-use tool that anyone can use from their computer or smartphone to find food resources near them throughout the state. You can filter by age range (ex. find food resources for youth) or by other criteria
(ex. college students, families, mixed documentation status households, individuals with disabilities, pregnant individuals).

Food Resource Hotline

Our Food Resource Hotline is still an important way for people to find food resources. For people who feel more comfortable talking to a real person on the phone who can help walk them through food available food resources, the hotline is here for you.
Call the Food Resource Hotline (statewide and toll-free) at 855-855-4626, Monday – Friday (8 am – 4:30 pm).

“HFC’s hotline work is important because our food system is built on unfair foundations. Some have easier access to food while others encounter barriers such as financial distress, lack of internet access, confusion around eligibility, homelessness, fear around immigration, or job difficulties. The hotline stretches out a hand to anyone in need, especially those who may otherwise fall in the gap,” said Carly Caprio, Bilingual Food Assistance Navigator at Hunger Free Colorado.

Hunger Free Colorado is committed to meaningful partnerships that leverage resources and break down barriers to food access. Across the state, communities have the wisdom and drive to implement solutions to hunger. We provide tools, training and funding to empower community-led
anti-hunger work and advocacy. Learn more about our partnership opportunities.
