Everyone Deserves a Seat at the Table A table can be where the day begins, stories are shared, and a familiar meal makes us feel at home. Everyone deserves access to the food that makes those everyday moments possible.
Yet 1 in 8 neighbors in Boulder and Broomfield counties faces food insecurity. As groceries, housing, and other essentials cost more, many households are stretching their budgets to cover the basics.
Community Food Share partners with our community to keep fresh food and pantry essentials within reach. Through our own programs and more than 50 local nonprofit partners, we help provide food to more than 60,000 people each year.
Together, we’re building a community where everyone has a seat at the table and access to the food they need.

• More than 60,000 people reached each year • More than 50 local nonprofit partners • 12.8 million pounds of food distributed in fiscal year 2026 • Serving neighbors across Boulder and Broomfield counties

Food for Every Table

Background Statement
Rooted in Community Since 1981
Community Food Share began in 1981 with one staff member, a borrowed room, and neighbors working together to address local hunger.
Today, that community effort connects food donors, farmers, grocery stores, volunteers, nonprofit partners, and financial supporters across Boulder and Broomfield counties. Together, we rescue food, share resources, and help neighbors access groceries for everyday life.
Our work has grown, but the purpose remains personal: helping every neighbor have the food they need and a place at our community’s table.
