The Food Bank for Larimer County accepts donated food, including shelf-stable items such as canned and dry goods as well as dairy, meat, bakery items, and fresh produce.
In addition to food items, we also gladly accept non-food items like diapers, baby wipes, deodorant, toothpaste, menstrual products and other essentials that help our clients live healthy and rewarding lives.
Our staff is explicitly trained to pay close attention to date codes, especially on refrigerated products. Most of the dates on the food we distribute are not expiration dates – they are “best if used by” or “sell by” dates because this means the product is wholesome beyond the date on the product.
