Food for All
Free Food Community Market in Summit County, CO by FIRC
The high cost of living makes Summit County a difficult place to raise a family. By providing options for healthy and nutritious food, we help families stretch their budgets.
We encourage our community to visit the Food Markets once a week so that they can save hundreds of dollars each month. In addition, families can combine those savings with other resources like WIC & SNAP and later put them towards rent/mortgage, bills, or even start an emergency fund. If you want to know more about these resources, call FIRC at (970) 262-3888.
