We distribute enough food across the Western Slope to provide the equivalent of 25,000 meals every day. 

Make a difference in your community! Get involved and you can help us provide food for our Western Slope neighbors experiencing food insecurity.

Learn more about Food Bank of the Rockies' work across the Western Slope.

We proudly partner with local farms.

Food Bank of the Rockies’ FRESH Program sources quality produce for distribution to our Hunger Relief Partners and at our own mobile pantries. In fiscal year 2024, we partnered with 29 Colorado growers directly, plus two food hubs based in Carbondale and Hotchkiss that source produce from several dozen small growers across the Western Slope and Front Range.

Thank you Talbott Farms!

Food Bank of the Rockies is grateful to Talbott Farms for the donation of 2,000 pounds of Palisade peaches, which we dehydrated and are distributing during the Fruita Fall Festival.

Since 2016, Talbott Farms has donated approximately 100,000 pounds of fruit to Food Bank of the Rockies. 

Our partnerships with local farms like Talbott help us ensure that our neighbors facing hunger are able to get fresh produce at food distributions.
