We work from the ground up to build
Place-based solutions to food insecurity
Food insecurity impacts more than 1 in 9 individuals across Colorado, and 1 in 7 children are at risk of not having the right quantity or quality of food to eat.
That’s why we’re focusing our work right here at home, building a coalition of neighbors to deliver local solutions to food insecurity in Southeast Denver.
Ellis Elementary School
