Although there are so many people experiencing food insecurity, most don’t know how to visit a food bank.
Our mission is to provide food to ALL in need. One way we do that is through our Food Share no-cost markets. We have two Food Share locations – one in Fort Collins and one in Loveland – and a series of mobile markets throughout the county. At each location, we offer meat, bread, dairy products, fresh fruits and vegetables, and non-perishable food items at absolutely no charge to our clients. It’s more like visiting a grocery store than you might imagine!
Before you visit one of our pantries for the first time, please take a few minutes to complete the Client Enrollment Form (options below). Once you are enrolled, you are welcome to shop at any pantry up to two times per week.
When you visit for the first time, please try to bring the following:
