Community Food Share's programs are designed to provide a variety of ways for people to access food when times get tough. The main programs of Community Food Share are as follows:

Feeding Families serves low-income families with children with an emphasis on healthy, nutritious foods. Last year, more than 3 million pounds of food, the equivalent of 2.5 million meals, were distributed to food insecure families in Boulder and Broomfield Counties.

Community Food Share’s Mobile Food Pantry allows Community Food Share to reach food insecure individuals who have transportation challenges, medical disabilities, conflicting work schedules or other barriers, particularly important during the COVID crisis. Annually, their Mobile Food Pantries serve over 2,350 households and 7,100 individuals.

Elder Share Program is a lifeline for many low-income, under-resourced seniors in Boulder and Broomfield counties. Last year, over 208,000 meals were distributed to over 750 seniors.

Sixty-five percent of the food they distribute each year is through their Partner Agency Distribution Program, giving 40 non-profits the capacity to supply hunger insecure residents with healthy food choices. Last fiscal year, they provided over 8 million pounds of food to their partner agencies. Community Food Share does not impose fees on participating non-profits for the food they receive.
