No one should have to worry about where their next meal will come from.
Our Vision is to ensure food security for all Golden area students and families. BGOLDN partners with local schools and the community of Golden, Colorado to meet the immediate nutritional needs of children and provide low-income families with a stable source of fresh food.
BGOLDN’s services focus on ensuring equitable access to nutritious food for those struggling with food insecurity. By providing a source of food, we’re playing a role in helping families through difficult times to improve their quality of life and reduce the burden of affording food.
-Our Fresh Food Pantry provides a stable source of nutritious, fresh, culturally relevant foods to approximately 360 families on a monthly basis. Food support through our Pantry helps families alleviate the costs of things like childcare, healthcare, rent and transportation expenses.
- Our Nourishing Success School Programs provide immediate nutritional needs to students during their school day, which includes a snack program that fuels a child’s ability to learn and focus. We support schools where up to 70% of their students face challenges with food insecurity.
- Our Unique Programs respond to needs such as accessibility barriers. Programs include partnerships and our grocery delivery service. Our partnership programs improve access to fresh, healthy and culturally appropriate food. For example, our Farmers Market program offers families an opportunity to shop at Golden's Farmers Market for local meats, produce and dairy. Another program, in collaboration with local nonprofit GoFarm, brings a Farmers Market on wheels to underserved neighborhoods. Our grocery delivery service offers a weekly source of Fresh Food Pantry provisions to those who need our services but are experiencing accessibility challenges.
Your Testimonials
"Food is like gas, you need it to fuel you. It feeds you so that you can keep going. As students, without food we get tired and cannot concentrate as well. These programs are extremely helpful!"

"I cannot change the harsh economic reality that many people will face. But I can do my part to help people eat and help people stay employed. That is what BGOLDN is about and that is why I am donating one of my biweekly pay checks per month."

"Thank you so much for doing this! I lost my job due to COVID and since I have no money to spare, eating out is not an option. I have gone to pick up lunch for me and my sons twice now and it is so much fun."
