The Food Bank for Larimer County provides food through three primary programs: Food Share; Kids Cafe®; and Food Link. We are the only Feeding America clearinghouse for donated food in Larimer County.

Our on-site food pantry in Fort Collins - Food Share - is the largest pantry in the county and provides free food to more than 11,000 individuals at risk of hunger each month. Of those, more than 50% are children and seniors. All of our clients have incomes below 185% of poverty and the average monthly income is just $800. We added an additional site in Loveland in November 2006.

The Food Bank operates Kids Cafe®. The recipients of Kids Cafe are all children between the ages of 3 and 18 years. Each of our six Kids Cafe sites is located within one mile of an elementary school where more than 50% of the students are eligible for free or reduced price lunch. In 2008, we served nearly 56,000 meals to children in Larimer County.

The Food Bank partners with approximately 70 other non-profit organizations in the community including food pantries, kitchens, shelters, snack programs childcare and residential programs, and centers for the disabled. These agencies in turn distribute the food to low-income and at risk populations. In 2008, we provided food to our partner agencies valued at nearly $2 million.
