Fremont County has the highest food insecurity rate in the State of Colorado (Feeding America). Through our partnerships with Care and Share Food Bank, Walmart, City Market, and Safeway we distribute over $20,000 of food monthly to families in need.
Our food pantry is designed to resemble a grocery store giving clients the freedom to choose the items they need. In 2016 we had 1,407 families register to receive food.
We also have two mobile pantry locations in Fremont County on the second Friday of every month. The Canon City mobile food pantry is located in the parking lot across the street from our agency at the Mountain View Church from 11:00 am – noon. The Penrose mobile food pantry is located at Penrose Park on 4th St. from 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm.
Loaves and Fishes Ministries is also a distributor for the USDA Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) which targets low-income senior citizens age 60 or older.
