🥫 Where to donate food in Colorado
Shelf-stable food goes to local food pantries and the regional food banks that supply them in your area.
Before you go Peanut butter, canned meat and canned fruit are always needed. Check expiration dates; pantries can't hand out expired food. A food drive at church, school or work goes a long way.
