Colorado Feeding Kids is a volunteer-based nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide nutritious food to impoverished children in Colorado through local food banks and schools. We operate 100% on donations & sponsorships. Our meals cost $0.50 each. A donation of $50.00 provides 100 meals.
"The substantial foods that Colorado Feeding kids is helping us with is exactly what families are looking for. They need good healthy food that can feed four people. We know that dinner meals are so important and many kids have no dinner. The variety is great. Also that large portion of oatmeal is provided gives them breakfast that is healthy and can last more than one day. We help school children and families of the working poor. They work every week and don't have enough money for food they need. We strongly urge people to financially support this amazing non profit which does so much good every week." Barbara Blumberg Moore, Executive Director of Jeffco Eats.
"DICP (Denver Inner City Parish) has been receiving food from Colorado Feeding Kids (CFK) for over 6 years. The food we receive from them has become a staple in our food pantry, backpack program, and emergency meals. CFK has enabled us to consistently provide food to over 1,100 unduplicated individuals each month. CFK has been a reliable and trusted source of food for our organization and their product is always safe and of high quality." Larry Martinez, Executive Director Denver Inner City Parish.
Significantly reduce the number of hungry children in Colorado and feed starving children throughout the world.
In 2008 South Denver Kiwanis club started Kids Against Hunger - Denver to pack a vitamin enhanced rice/soy meal to send to Haiti. Over the next few years we sent 1,500,000 meals to Haiti and Colorado food banks asked if they could have some of these meals.
Kids Against Hunger-Denver continued to send meals to Haiti and started creating nutritious and tasty meals for local Colorado Food Banks. In 2013 they became independent of Kiwanis creating Colorado Feeding Kids. They now make 7 nutritious meals for local food banks and school back programs.
In 2019 they distributed 650,000 meals to local food banks and schools. Since their start in 2008 this volunteer-based organization has packed and given away 8,793,328 meals.
They are still a volunteer-based organization with approximately 5,000 plus volunteer hours per year. They rely on donations to purchase raw food materials which they bag into 6 meal pouches and give away to Food Banks, Schools, and Disaster Relief.
