The Food Bank for Larimer County's mission is to provide food to all in need through community partnerships and hunger-relief programs. In 2020, the Food Bank for Larimer County provided more than 10.5 million pounds of food to low-income residents through three primary programs: Fresh Food Share, Nutritious Kitchen, and Nourishing Network. Our Fresh Food Share pantries are client-choice, meaning clients get to select the food that is right for them and their families. With locations in Fort Collins and Loveland, each pantry offers a selection of purchased, donated, and government food to income qualifying individuals. In an average year, our pantries will see an average of 200,000 client visits. The Nutritious Kitchen prepares an average of 175,000 nutritious meals and snacks annually for children and seniors in our community, while our Nourishing Network works with more than 100 nonprofit partner agencies to provide food to the clients they serve. These organizations include food pantries, soup kitchens, after-school programs, and domestic violence shelters among others. An estimated 37,500 Larimer County residents receive assistance from the Food Bank each year.
