Friends, you are incredible! 🧡 Unstoppable!  

In less than one week, you have stepped up to stand by neighbors and pooled half of our goal! These funds will directly support neighbors receiving Food Delivery and benefit & resource navigation during the current hunger crisis.  

On November 15th, Benefits in Action celebrates 10 years of service to Coloradans throughout the state.  We know we could not do this work without YOU.

Thank you. 🧡

Since 2015, Benefits in Action has been a lifeline for neighbors through challenging times. Whether you've become unemployed, are considering retirement, or found yourself caring for an aging or ill loved one -- Benefits in Action's compassionate team of Navigators is ready to support YOU.  

When our neighbors expressed challenges in accessing food resources, we launched our Food Delivery Program with one goal in mind - get food into the hands of those unable to travel to food resources in their community. Since then, with the help of hundreds of committed volunteers, we've served thousands of neighbors who were ill or vulnerable, lacked transportation, were living with a disability or otherwise homebound and experiencing hunger. 

As food pantries began closing due to funding and food deserts became more vast, Benefits in Action saw an increase in requests for support.  In 2024, our Food Delivery Program delivered 15.7K boxes of healthy food to the doorsteps of neighbors across the Denver metro when they needed it most.

Today, we are hard at work delivering healthy food to as many neighbors as possible with the support of food rescue partners, dedicated volunteers, and donors like YOU.  We also connect neighbors to the other important health benefits and resources they need to thrive like Medicare, utility assistance, disability funds and more. 

With looming funding uncertainties, the soaring cost of food and more demand than ever, we've had to adjust our services to deliver only to low-income, homebound neighbors over age 60.  

YOUR GIFT can help the Food Delivery program reach & resource more neighbors experiencing hunger today!
