Community Food Share

A huge turkey-sized thank you to Boulder Country Day School for hosting a fantastic turkey drive for Community Food Share! ?? Thanks to your generous spirit, we collected nearly 600 pounds of turkeys! ?? Your generosity is helping our neighbors in need celebrate the holiday with full plates and happy hearts. You’ve proven once again that when a community comes together, amazing things happen. Thank you for joining us in the fight against hunger and spreading holiday cheer to those who need it most. ??

In partnership with 9News and King Soopers, we’re working to make a difference for families facing hunger right here in our community. Now through December 8th, you can give at checkout at your local King Soopers or donate online. Hunger doesn’t discriminate—it’s closer than you think. Many of the people we serve are working hard, but with rising costs, it’s becoming harder to keep food on the table. For 1 in 12 people in Boulder and Broomfield Counties, food access is uncertain. Every dollar you give has a huge impact: each $1 donation provides $6 worth of groceries for our neighbors. ???? Let’s come together to make sure no one in our community faces hunger alone. ?? https://bit.ly/40DuQ7A

Our very own Director of Philanthropy, Kaleigh Wagner, had the incredible opportunity to talk with 9NEWS' Kathy Sabine to shed light on the growing issue of food insecurity in our community. Together, they highlighted the vital role of the 9Cares Colorado Shares food drive in helping our neighbors who are struggling to access enough food for themselves and their families. ??

What began as a garden full of flowers blossomed into a movement of generosity and community support. After rebuilding her home and garden post-Marshall Fire, Caitlin Hawksley found herself with more flowers than she could give away. Instead of letting them go to waste, Caitlin turned her blooms into bouquets—40 little jars of kindness—to help fight food insecurity. In exchange for her mini flower bouquets, community members donated food to Community Food Share, bringing cars full of donations from near and far. ???? Her creative approach reminded neighbors that food insecurity affects many, even as seasons change. “Everyone has a gift to give. If you have a wild idea, listen to it,” Caitlin says. Her heartfelt idea not only raised awareness but also inspired others to find their own ways to give back. Thank you, Caitlin, for showing us that even small acts can make a big difference. ?? Caitlin’s journey doesn’t end here. She has started a new food drive to support Community Food Share! To read her full story and donate to Caitlin’s food drive please visit the links below. ??
