Wherever hunger rises, so can we.
About us
Food Bank of the Rockies (FBR) was founded in 1978 and was known as the Colorado Food Clearing House. Operating from a 900-square-foot schoolroom in northwest Denver, the fledgling organization collected food from nearby Safeway stores and distributed it to one agency. Today, FBR has extended its reach across Northern Colorado and Wyoming, providing food supplies to more than 600 hunger-relief programs. Since 1978, FBR has provided food for families in need. Last year, we distributed nearly 49 million meals, enough to provide more than 134,000 meals each day. Food Bank of the Rockies is a BBB accredited charity and holds a 4-Star Rating from Charity Navigator. 96¢ of every dollar we receive goes toward our hunger relief programs. More information can be found at foodbankrockies.org.

Spent Friday afternoon volunteering with my Experian colleagues at Food Bank of the Rockies! While we may not be wearing matching Experian shirts but we imbibed the guiding principles of Experian by creating 1889 food bags together and we elevated each other when we accomplished our goal. We powered our progress with enthusiasm and determination! I hope to volunteer again with many more of my Experian colleagues! #volunteer #guidingprinciples Experian Marketing Services Experian

Food insecurity levels in our region are currently the highest they've been in 10 years. All emergency-relief funding related to COVID-19 has ended and, as a result, a significant funding gap equivalent to 20 million meals has emerged. To address this pressing issue, we are intensifying our efforts by focusing on food rescue and leveraging the incredible generosity of our community. Your support and engagement are crucial as we work to close this hunger gap and provide essential nourishment to those in need.

Had a great time volunteering with my USI coworkers at Food Bank of the Rockies this week! We spent the morning sorting and boxing up frozen food to be donated for those in need. Learning more about how much of an impact this organization makes was incredible, and happy to say that with just 3 hours of hard work, we helped provide over 8,000 meals for individuals and families in our community. #USIGivesBack

Did you know that Food Bank of the Rockies runs multiple recycling programs? One of the coolest ones is our cardboard recycling initiative. We collect and recycle cardboard from broken-down boxes and other packaging, which not only reduces waste but also generates revenue for us. In fact, in fiscal year 2023, the money we made from cardboard recycling helped us provide the equivalent of 34,000 meals to our neighbors! 🙌 💚
