Feeding Arapahoe County

Help Feed Arapahoe County Families

We’re honored to partner with Next with Kyle Clark’s Word of Thanks to support families across Arapahoe County who are facing unprecedented challenges. Every day, more of our neighbors struggle to put food on the table as the cost of living skyrockets, SNAP benefit are impacted, and tariffs drive up the prices of basic goods.

This microgiving campaign directly supports local food banks across Arapahoe County—organizations working tirelessly to meet the rising demand for food assistance in our community.

Why Your Help Matters

While traditional food drives focus on non-perishable items, financial contributions have an even greater impact. Because food banks can purchase food at wholesale prices, your dollar goes further, allowing them to provide more meals for more families.

And importantly, every contribution raised through this campaign goes directly to local food banks—no portion is taken out for overhead or administrative costs.

Our Goal

To provide food banks across the county with the resources they need to deliver the most good for the most people, ensuring families have reliable access to nutritious food during a time of extraordinary need.

Funds will be distributed by the Arapahoe County Foundation, in order, as follows: Up to $5,000 to Cornerstone Food Bank in Englewood, Deer Trail Food Bank, Aurora Schools. Cherry Creek Schools, Backpack Society for Littleton Schools, Sheridan Schools, Englewood Schools, and Nourish Meals on Wheels. Up to $10,000 to the Village Exchange Center in Aurora. Any remaining funds will be distributed to Integrated Family Community Services in Englewood.

Driven by Our Mission and Values

This effort reflects Arapahoe County’s commitment to our community:

Mission: Enhancing your quality of life through exceptional delivery of services and efficient use of public funds.

By supporting the food banks that nourish our neighbors, we are living out this mission—strengthening the health, stability, and resilience of the families who make our communities vibrant.
