Meet The GrowHaus
The GrowHaus is providing community-led food access, culturally responsive wellness initiatives, and leadership programs to 8,300 people per month at a time when 1 in 6 Coloradans are food-insecure, and new SNAP eligibility requirements are leaving thousands without benefits.
Your gift to The GrowHaus doesn’t just distribute fresh, nutritious food, it builds lasting community wealth and well-being through teen leadership programs and a continuum of Promotora-led (community health specialist) nutrition programs for people of all ages. With your support since last Colorado Gives Day, The GrowHaus has been reaching an additional 1,000 community members every month through eight new food access sites! We know we can continue expanding our reach when we meet our fundraising goals.
Colorado Gives Day is The GrowHaus’ biggest fundraiser of the year. The success of our Colorado Gives Day Campaign helps establish programmatic budgets and determine the number of people we will be able to serve in the year ahead. This year, we have an ambitious goal to raise $85,000 for community-led food justice!
Gifts of $250 or more come with a 25% Colorado Enterprise Zone income tax credit.

Our mission is to cultivate community-led food justice through food access, wellness education, career opportunities, and leadership development to build sustainable generational economic security.
The GrowHaus is deepely imbedded within Denver's food insecure communities and has been a beacon of community resilience, leadership, and transformation since 2009.
Our community led team understands the intricate layers of food insecurity, so our approach transcends food distribution and addresses the root causes of food insecurity by providing education and economic opportunities for all.
Originally serving the Latino immigrant communities of Globeville, Elyria, and Swansea, The GrowHaus is sharing its expertise to expand fresh food access and is now managing 35 food access sites across the City of Denver via partnerships with Denver Public Libraries, Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Denver, GES Coalition, and other community hubs.
The GrowHaus connects 8,300 neighbors each month with fresh, culturally meaningful food. The reliability of fresh food bridges the nutrition gap and creates additional capacity for our neighbors to engage in other enriching wellness programming. Our Community Wellness and Engagement team leads home visits, multigenerational and youth education programs, and health and wellness classes throughout the year, fostering healthy habits and community connections.
