Overview
Mission
Jeffco Eats’ mission is to reduce the number of children experiencing hunger in Jefferson County, Colorado and to increase their nutritional intake through healthy, quality foods. Please join us for a wonderful evening benefitting Jeffco Eats as we support Jefferson County youth by making sure they have enough to eat. Just as in the story of Stone Soup, we can all contribute a little to make a great pot of soup – or in this case, feed hungry children and families. We will have various soups made by local chefs available to try as well as other hearty food and a fun evening planned to network and learn more about how you can be a solution to hunger in our community. For more information on how to participate email [email protected] Our Mission:.

We receive weekly totes of hope foods packed on fridays by volunteers and delivered with our voluntary team of truck drivers. We deliver foods to where children are, which is schools, headstart programs, housing programs, rec centers, libraries and health clinics. We work with school staff liaisons and section 8 community managers for distribution of the food to families in need.
