C.A.N.S.* Around the Oval is one of the oldest and largest community food drives benefiting the Food Bank for Larimer County. C.A.N.S. is hosted by Colorado State University. The Food Banks co-supports and co-manages this annual event.
C.A.N.S. is a CSU tradition where students, faculty, and staff work to raise much-needed food and funds for FBLC hunger-relief programs. The drive collects thousands of pounds of food and dollars to support FBLC hunger-relief efforts.
Food Bank for Larimer County not only serves the county at-large, but also the local campus community via the Rams Against Hunger (RAH) program. The food collected at C.A.N.S. is distributed both through the RAH pantry and the Food Bank’s No-Cost Markets.
To enhance the quality and quantity of food and better meet community needs, C.A.N.S. has evolved and expanded the types of items collected. We welcome any type of cash and nutritious staples (including online monetary donations and healthy, non-perishable food items) from donors.
*Cash and Nutritious Staples
Bring food donations to any of the three Food Bank locations during our donation hours.
The celebration is at top of the CSU Oval:
701 Oval Drive
Fort Collins, CO
80521
*Rams Against Hunger is a student-led effort to address on-campus hunger by providing several food security programs. This includes a permanent on-campus food pantry available to students, staff, and faculty located in CSU’s General Services building that features fresh produce, dairy and protein items, in addition to shelf-stable food.
Food Bank for Larimer County provides a variety of food to Rams Against Hunger to support the pantry. The partnership is another example of how the Food Bank works alongside the community to meet hunger needs where they are at.
Feeding America issued notice of an urgent product recall of a variety of Albertsons Companies/Supplier products Oct. 3.
The Food Bank has isolated and disposed of these products and made all Food Bank partners aware of the situation. Anyone who may have received these products is asked to dispose of them.
UPDATE: We are currently providing support to our partner agencies. Hygiene items are the most requested, including diapers, period products, toothbrushes and toothpaste. Visit any of our locations to donate food or supplies.
The Food Bank for Larimer County is carefully monitoring the status of the Alexander Mountain Fire.
If you or someone you know needs food, please know that the Food Bank’s no-cost markets are available as a resource.
