How to make a difference
Donate funds
One in ten people in Loveland faces food insecurity, and that number could easily go up as grocery costs continue to rise. Help us move that number to zero.
Your donation will empower us to support our community with stocked shelves, emergency financial assistance, and year-round programs.
What impact would you like to make?
