Feeling particularly generous today? Jeffco Eats would LOVE your Support! https://www.coloradogives.org/organization/JeffcoEats

Today, December 2nd - GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity. GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

Tuesday, December 9th - Colorado Gives Day was started in 2010 by the Colorado Gives Foundation. All nonprofits receive a percentage of the fund equal to the percentage they raise for Colorado Gives Day. So, if they raise 10%, they get 10% of the Incentive Fund. You can give early now!
How it works
* Online platform: The event uses ColoradoGives.org, a year-round online platform for giving, which simplifies the process of donating to verified nonprofits.
* Incentive fund: A large "Incentive Fund" is used to boost donations during the giving period, making each dollar go further.
* Annual event: While the online platform is available year-round, Colorado Gives Day is a specific annual event that draws a large volume of donations over a set period.

Jeffco Eats was delighted today when a U-Haul arrived at our food distribution center. Inside the truck were Charlotte, Sam, and Katie from West and Main Homes, along with $5,000 worth of food items for us to distribute to hungry families in Jefferson County! During this challenging time with limited food resources, our Founder, Barbara Moore, reached out to Stacie Staub, CEO of West and Main Homes, and kindly asked them to do another food drive on our behalf (they conducted one this past spring), and they truly came through for us! We are so grateful!

It's not clear when millions of families will receive their November food aid benefits, even after two federal judges ruled last week that the Trump administration needs to make at least partial payments for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program as the government shutdown continues.

"There's a process that has to be followed," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said. "So, we've got to figure out what the process is."

While they are figuring out the process, families in Colorado are going hungry. Jeffco Eats is providing as much food as we can to families in Jefferson County. Please consider helping by donating at https://jeffcoeats.charityproud.org/Donate or host a Food Drive on behalf of Jeffco Eats – to learn how, email us at [email protected] or call 720.248.4443.

Jeffco Eats appreciates the Colorado government's support in assisting hungry families during the federal shutdown and impending SNAP benefit pause. (https://www.colorado.gov/governor/news/colorado-steps-support-families-polis-primavera-administration-thanks-jbc-approval-emergency . While this is a small Band-Aid to cover very large cuts in funding, we appreciate the support it provides.

Even before the government shutdown began, Jeffco Eats noticed an increase in demand for our Totes of Hope food bags, pantry staples, ready-to-eat meals, and school snacks at the start of this school year.

Our team and volunteers are dedicated to meeting the needs of families served through Jeffco schools, Section-8 Housing, Jeffco Libraries, and other locations.

If you'd like to help during this critical period, please consider donating or hosting a food drive for us. Donations can be made at https://jeffcoeats.charityproud.org/Donate . For food drive details, contact us at [email protected].
