When: 1st and 3rd Wednesdays, 2-3:30 p.m.
We continue to support our community with our twice monthly “Drive-through” food bank distributions. If you find yourself in need of food assistance, please do reach out – we are here to help!
Please pre-register at peggy.mauerman@gmail.com or call (720) 517-7917. However, walk-ins are always welcome.
The Old Gallery has been home to the Community Cupboard Food Bank since 2014. In 2019, our Community Cupboard provided an average of more than 20,000 pounds of free food to Allenspark area families in need each year. On average, we serve 25-30 families at each of our twice-monthly distributions.
Donations: We are always happy to accept food donations but we also appreciate cash donations as these enable us to augment donations from food distribution centers. We currently receive food donations from area food distributions centers, including Community Food Share and, Crossroads Ministry in Estes Park., Emergency Family Assistance Association in North Boulder (EFAA), Food Bank of Larimer County and the OUR Center.
Volunteering: The Community Cupboard is 100% volunteer run. We have a great team led by Peggy Mauerman, but we can always use more volunteers to help with distribution or to pick up food donations.
For more information and details about volunteering, please contact peggy.mauerman@gmail.com or call (720) 517-7917.
