Food Drives

YOU CAN HELP; Please donate to the two major Food drives CFS conducts each year.

Hunger Hurts the Whole Community; food drive sponsored by the Times-Call - from April 8th to April 21, 2009; brought in over 66,000 pounds of food from the Longmont area.
Let's Bag Hunger, held from November 15-25, 2009; sponsored by the Daily Camera. This drive brought in 124,000 pounds of food in 2009 from the Boulder area.

You can also take the lead and organize a food drive of your own through your business, school, church group or organization. If you would like to organize a food drive of your own to benefit CFS, please follow the link below to access a complete set of instructions. Thanks!
