Longmont Food Rescue brings the food & recipient nonprofits setup their own no-cost grocery markets!

Recipients and Participatory Models: The food gets delivered to recipient sites we partner with and is typically used within 24-48 hours. We provide food to day shelters and food pantries that serve the homeless and low-income folk, but more importantly, we work with individuals who struggle with food insecurity themselves.

We work with community leaders at low income senior housing sites, individual housing sites and family housing sites as well as after-school programs and pre-schools. This participatory approach enables community leaders to really be at the forefront of actualizing their own food security. Individuals run what we call “Grocery Programs” to set up a food-pantry type situation in their own community rooms, but they are in charge of how, when, and where and we just support them on the back end by building strong relationships with individuals to have the most say in how their programs should run.

We also provide food to special events for charities on occasion and provide some food to pay-what-you-can meals, and low income housing cooperatives.

 

How can you help?

Are you interested in food redistribution in Longmont and surrounding mountain communities in Boulder County? We need volunteers to take bicycle shifts. Not a fan of biking food on a trailer? We also need help with donor relations and community leaders to assist in our grocery programs. Are you a tech wizard? We can use some help with website maintenance and social media presence. Have another talent to share with LFR? Contact us! We need you!
