A Food Hall Food Drive for Food Banks
As more than 600,000 Coloradans face potential SNAP benefit reductions this November, six metro Denver food halls have launched a collaborative food drive with a competitive twist: a month-long challenge to see which venue can collect the most food and essential pantry items for local nonprofits serving communities in need.
A Food Hall Food Drive for Food Banks will run throughout November at Edgewater Public Market in Edgewater; The Golden Mill in Golden; Stanley Marketplace in Aurora; Freedom Street Social in Arvada; and Denver Central Market and Avanti Food & Beverage in Denver.
Each participating food hall has partnered with a local nonprofit organization:
Edgewater Public Market — benefiting JeffCo Eats
The Golden Mill — benefiting BGOLDN
Freedom Street Social —benefiting Community Table
Participating venues will encourage their communities to contribute items specifically requested by their nonprofit partners while tracking total donations. The food hall that collects the most items earns bragging rights and helps fill critical gaps in food security across the metro area.
Here’s what we are collecting all month for JeffCo Eats:
Collection bins are located inside the main entrance of Edgewater Public Market.
Thank you to our incredible community for supporting this initiative!
