Right now, too many families struggle to bring home the nutritious food they deserve, and many farmers struggle to nourish their own local communities.
At Nourish Colorado we are working to change this reality, and we invite you to join us!
With your kind support this Colorado Gives Day, you can nourish families, support farmers, and create lasting change for Colorado’s food system.
We work at every level of the food system - from farm to plate to policy - to create lasting change.
We do this through four program areas:
|
Nutrition Incentives programs like Double Up Food Bucks Offering financial support to help limited-income Coloradans access fresh and local produce, while supporting Colorado farmers and retailers. |
|
Improving School Meals |
|
|
Farm and Food Policy Championing state and federal policies that increase food access and support Colorado agriculture. Successful initiatives include the state’s Food Access Program, the Local Food Program, many farm bill things, and more! |
|
|
Nutrition Education Teaching those with limited food budgets how to shop for and cook nutritious meals on a budget. Though our nutrition education program was cut in September 2025 due to federal budget cuts, we wholeheartedly believe in the value of nutrition education and are working toward a new model for a state-wide nutrition education initiative! |
We strengthen connections with and between farms, ranches, and communities so that all Coloradans have equitable access to fresh, nutritious foods.
We envision Colorado communities where fresh and local foods enrich the lives of all!
Our Values: Connections, Equity, Adaptability, Solutions, Systems Change, Transparency, Sharing Power
Nourish Colorado is a non-profit organization committed to increasing access to nutritious, local food and building a more equitable food system across Colorado. We conduct policy advocacy for systems change, manage programs that increase food access and support local producers, and work alongside community partners to inspire collective action.
First established in 2008 as LiveWell Colorado, our mission was to advance healthy eating and active living in Colorado. Over many years, LiveWell began focusing more intentionally on how Colorado's food system could advance health and equity.
To reflect this evolution and new focus on food systems, LiveWell changed its name to Nourish Colorado in 2020.
