Who We Are
A 2-county coalition of grassroots and grasstop stakeholders collaborating on diverse efforts to achieve our mission.
What We Do
We work to empower grassroots leaders to identify and address food access issues, fostering trust and collaboration among all stakeholders. Our initiatives include informing key partners about food access challenges, promoting innovative strategies, mobilizing collective action, closing resource gaps, and advocating for equitable policy changes.
Our Mission
We strive to create significant and sustainable systemic changes that increase equitable access to food in Boulder and Broomfield Counties.
How We Do It
We focus on hunger as a public problem and use community organizing, network development, and collaborative action to advance transformative solutions across systems, such as hunger relief and local government. Our approach centers power and participation with directly affected community members.
