Food Bank for Larimer County

1301 Blue Spruce
Fort Collins, CO 80524
970-530-3113

Founded in 1984, the Food Bank for Larimer County provides over 5 million pounds of donated and surplus food from the food industry, government commodities, food drives and other sources to disadvantaged Larimer County residents annually. Nearly half of the individuals the food bank serves are children; nonetheless, the food bank also provides support to single-parent families, the working poor, senior citizens, youth in crisis, the disabled and the homeless.

If you choose to participate in this project, please wear closed-toe shoes and dress warmly as you will be working in the warehouse.

Lee Martinez Park, Fort Collins

Lee Martinez Park, named after the long time resident and community leader Librado (Lee) Martinez, was first established in 1973. By 1985, the first stage of construction was complete, the ball fields had been built, and the Poudre Trail was created along the Poudre River. Today, the park also includes a playground, picnic area, basketball and tennis courts, and a farm.

If you choose to volunteer for this service project, you will have the opportunity to clean up the park and farm.

Since 1977, Safe House Denver has been dedicated to eliminating domestic violence in our communities by providing shelter and counseling to victims of abuse; working with public and community agencies to improve the way our systems respond to domestic violence; and offering educational programming to prevent future violence. Safe House Denver is the only shelter in Denver that exclusively serves victims of domestic violence. In addition to the 340 women and children served in a typical year, Safe House Denver provides support to hundreds more women and children via individual counseling, advocacy support groups, legal assistance and referrals.
