Donations:
The more participation, the stronger the program will become resulting in less hunger in Summit County. Overall participation increases Summit County’s rebate for the program which can be given to those who can’t afford the discount prices.
There is also a Pay it Forward option of $10 where you can donate your food to a family in need.
Share Colorado Program has been helping people since 1983 serving communities in Colorado, Nebraska, Wyoming, New Mexico and South Dakota. Over the last 15 years it has helped save people over $57 million in groceries and distributes food to about 11,000 families per month.
