A little giving goes a long way.
|
It is estimated that Boulder and Broomfield Counties have over 40,000 residents living in poverty, and hunger is a real part of their lives, every day....that's enough people to fill up Folsom Field!
In response, Community Food Share is dedicated to improving lives by turning your small acts of generosity and kindness into a big difference in the lives of hungry families and children in your community. Working through 63 member agencies, Community Food Share efficiently delivers more than four million nutritionally balanced meals each year, and serves as a safety net for those who are hungry in Boulder and Broomfield Counties. Also, as part of the America's Second Harvest network, Community Food Share can provide four meals for each dollar contributed.
It is through these efforts that Community Food Share makes a huge impact; we distributed 4.5 MILLION meals in 2007. But in order to sustain activities at this level, we need your help! Please join us in our mission to ensure that people in Boulder & Broomfield Counties are food secure.
To learn more about our mission and how we are accomplishing it, please go to About CFS . Or, watch our new video!
