Hunger Free Colorado

Background Statement

Because access to food is a basic human right.

For more than a decade, Hunger Free Colorado has been the trusted, statewide resource families turn to when they need help putting food on the table. This year, as Colorado faced unprecedented SNAP disruptions and federal uncertainty, our team remained a clear, steady guide—helping thousands of households navigate complex systems with dignity and compassion.

And together with community partners, we delivered a major victory for food justice: the passage of Propositions LL and MM, creating sustainable funding for Healthy School Meals for All and SNAP outreach. These wins prove what we’ve always believed—when communities come together, we can build large-scale, lasting solutions.

Your support ensures we can continue to protect SNAP access today and move toward the transformational community power needed to end hunger for good.

We meet people where they are—on our multilingual hotline, through trusted neighborhood partners, and across rural and urban communities—to ensure everyone can access SNAP and other essential supports. At the same time, we work alongside community members to strengthen Colorado’s safety net, build equitable food systems, and secure long-term, structural change.
