Nourish the Hungry, Uplift the Needy
$7,148 Raised
Aurora Interfaith (legal name: Aurora Interchurch Task Force Inc.) proudly marking 57 years of service, is committed to combating hunger and providing vital support to the communities of Aurora and Denver. Rooted in the principles of community, compassion, care, faith, and service, we work to uplift all individuals, regardless of their religious or cultural backgrounds. While we are not tied to any one faith, we wholeheartedly welcome people of all beliefs, traditions, and languages. Through our brick and mortar, mobile fresh food pantry, and community navigation program, we aim to support and empower those in need.
Due to significant reductions in funding caused by shrinking Covid relief, government cutbacks, and a struggling economy. An 80% drop in the fresh produce we receive and decrease in government TEFAP food, our pantry shelves are more bare than ever. Furthermore, we are experiencing a large funding gap of $120,000. We are at risk of cutting the budget extensively if we don’t receive donations. All of these factors have made it even harder to meet growing demand.
Despite these challenges, the need continues to grow. We are committed to serving over 40,000 individuals each year, and providing:
Food Pantry, providing 5-7 days worth of food to households in need
Mobile Fresh Market, a farmers market style food distribution throughout the community
$90,000 in utility assistance to families at risk of losing power
Warm coats, hats, blankets, and nourishing meals for our homeless guests
Pet Food, offering not only nutritious pet food but also essentials like collars, leashes, toys, and cozy beds.
Diapers, formula, layettes, and toys for babies and children in crisis
Holiday food baskets that bring dignity and joy to families during difficult seasons
Community Navigation Program connecting individuals with critical resources including housing support, services for the homeless and youth, employment assistance, and legal options
But we can’t do this without you.
We’re reaching out to ask for your help. Whether it’s a one-time gift, a monthly donation, a corporate partnership, or a food contribution—every act of generosity makes a real difference.
Let’s come together as a community to ensure that Aurora Interfaith can continue its mission of compassion and service—today and for generations to come.
Aurora Interfaith is a non-profit organization who feeds the hungry and provides other supportive services to residents of Aurora and Denver.
In 1968, the women of Aurora Church Women United noted a great need for a united effort to provide emergency assistance to residents of Aurora. At that time, the group that consisted of seven local churches began collecting food and clothing from their friends and congregations, with churches providing rooms for storage. Since then, the organization has purchased a building and has been feeding the hungry in Aurora ever since!
