More information on how FoCo Cafe address Community Need:

With the lasting effects of COVID-19, and the rising cost of food, more folks than ever are seeing an increased need in access to healthy food that is affordable to them.

Too often, people see those without a home as being the ones who are the most affected by hunger, however, food insecurity affects more of our community than you might think, with 33% of those experiencing food insecurity in Larimer County being school aged children, and 49% being working families.

FoCo Cafe, at its core, serves to fill the gaps for folks who may not have access to affordable, healthy food. Through this, we see many community members who are experiencing homelessness and food insecurity, but beyond that we also see many people who are experiencing other hardships, and they feel that FoCo Cafe helps to fills a unique gap for them. Some are isolated seniors without a support system or meaningful ways to use their time, or they are looking to gain employable skills and can't find a job or opportunities to gain them. We see college students who have a challenging family life finding refuge at the Cafe while giving back to others and building up a healthier social support system.

oin FoCo Cafe's 1st Sustaining Membership Campaign starting February 1st through March 15th, 2023. Be a part of the solution and help us feed our community by becoming a sustaining member. You'll receive FoCo Cafe swag, meal tokens, and a chance to win gift cards and other local prizes.

Your ongoing monthly donation will directly impact our ability to provide healthy and accessible meals to those in need. Our goal is to gain 50 new sustaining members or $750 in monthly recurring donations by March 15th to ensure the long-term sustainability of FoCo Cafe.

The COVID-19 pandemic has only amplified the need for affordable and healthy food in our community. 33% of those facing food insecurity in Larimer County are school-aged children, and 49% are working families. FoCo Cafe serves as a bridge for those who lack access to nutritious food, but it also provides support for isolated seniors, college students facing challenges, and those seeking employment opportunities.

Our lunch service allows us to track the impact of our mission. In 2022, on average, 2/3 of the meals we served were to those who could not afford them, showing a significant need for resources in the community.

Join us in our mission to create a safe and inclusive community center where everyone feels welcome and has access to healthy food.
