| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Program Service Accomplishments: | We collect food and funds from a variety of sources, including businesses, farms, food drives, individuals, and Feeding America, the nation's largest domestic hunger-relief organization. Food donations are distributed to individuals in need through three overlapping and integrated programs: Fresh Food Share, Nourishing Network and Nutritious Kitchen. Fresh Food Share: Our Fresh Food Share program is one of the nation's largest, client-choice, fresh food pantry programs. We have brick and mortar locations in Fort Collins and Loveland, and also operate three mobile pantries in partnership with community organizations. Fresh Food Share distributes fruits, vegetables, bread, meat, and dairy to 36,601 individuals, representing more than 14,858 households over the course of the year. Our goal is to provide each person with enough food for at least one meal per day each month. Nutritious Kitchen: Our Nutritious Kitchen provides meals and snacks to a variety of non-profit partners serving primarily children and seniors. Our Child Nutrition program provide nutritious meals and snacks after school and during the summer at sites throughout Larimer County. During the summer, Food Bank for Larimer County is the largest sponsor of the Summer Food Service Program, a federal program that provides funding for free meals to kids while school is out. Our Senior Nutrition program provides meals for Volunteers of America (VOA) congregate senior meal sites. Meals in our kitchen are prepared from scratch primarily by a robust volunteer force. During fiscal year 2024 we provided 132,443 meals and snacks to our community. Nourishing Network: Nourishing Network provides food to 121 non-profit organization programs to distribute to their clients in need. These programs include food pantries, kitchens, shelters, and snack programs that serve low-income populations. Many of these partners rely on the food bank for 100% of the food they distribute or prepare. Other Services SNAP (food stamps): The Food Bank for Larimer County dedicates two full-time staff to assist individuals and families in Larimer County apply for this Federal benefit. SNAP is the most effective hunger-relief program in the United States. SNAP is an economic multiplier that infuses money into local economies. In 2024 the Food Bank for Larimer County assisted 1,184 households in applying for benefits. Cooking Matters: Cooking Matters works in communities across the country to help parents and caregivers develop their skills when shopping for and cooking healthy foods on a budget. This program offers cooking classes and nutrition training to coach participants how to shop for and to prepare healthy, low-cost meals. The Food Bank partners with local organizations in the county to offer FREE, virtual and in-person food skills and nutrition classes for adults in both English and Spanish. Everyday Eats: Everyday Eats is tailored specifically to meet common senior nutrition needs. Seniors 60 years and older who meet the gross monthly household income qualify for Everyday Eats. Everyday Eats boxes, sometimes referred to as "senior boxes," are distributed to individuals once per month. Food Rescue: Food recovery is at the very core of what we do. FBLC started specifically because perfectly good food was going to waste. For 40 years we have partnered with grocery stores, farms and manufacturers to reduce food waste while providing quality nutritious food to those in need. In 2024 we rescued 9.4 million pounds of food. Nappie Project: The Nappie Project sources donated and purchased diapers, wipes, and associated products, and distributes through our Fresh Food Share Markets, and to Nourishing Network partners. The Nappie Project distributed 776,047 diapers and packages of wipes to 6,346 individuals in our fiscal year. Veg Out (previously Local Farm Purchasing Program): In the wake of widespread business closures in the spring of 2020, FBLC recognized a possible hardship for local, small-scale farmers. Through a variety of funding sources, we were able to purchase unsold produce and have continued this program since. Our Veg Out program operates at the weekly Larimer County Farmer's Market in Fort Collins, purchasing unsold locally grown produce at an agreed-upon wholesale price. This produce is then distributed at our No-Cost Market in Fort Collins the very same day. This program has saved more than 58,500 lbs. of high-quality, fresh, local produce from spoilage, helped connect our clients with the local food system, and provided support to 23 local farmers. |
