Our no-cost Emergency Food Pantry assists food-insecure individuals, seniors, families and students residing in Park Hill. Please note that you must have a valid ID to register for our emergency food pantry. At this time, we regrettably cannot accommodate non-Park Hill residents. We hope this is temporary.
We provide shelf-stable canned and packaged foods, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits, eggs, butter, cheese and frozen proteins, including chicken and ground beef (when available). In addition, we provide toiletry products, personal hygiene items, paper products, diapers, dog and cat food (when available) coffee, tea and condiments.
Hours
Our Emergency Food Pantry is open every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at 2823 Fairfax Street. We provide a no-cost, three-day supply of food based on household size. Please arrive before 12:30 p.m.
Eligibility
Your must reside in Greater Park Hill, and proof of residency is required on your first visit. Please bring proof of identification. When you come in to shop, please also bring your own shopping bags.

Food Pantry Donations
Our Emergency Food Pantry relies, almost entirely, on in-kind food donations and financial contributions. Your support ensures that we can keep our shelves stocked and our refrigerators and freezers full of food for those who need it most.
Food Drives: If you’d like to spearhead a food drive on our behalf, please reach out to Colette Carey, our executive director: director@greaterparkhill.org.
We are a proud partner of Food Bank of the Rockies and registered with Ample Harvest. Any expired food is either composted onsite or collected and donated to local animal rescues or We Don’t Waste.
