We meet people’s immediate need for food while building a movement to end hunger at its root.

As a leading anti-hunger organization in Colorado, Metro Caring works with our community to meet people’s immediate need for nutritious, culturally relevant food while building a movement to end hunger at its root causes.

People are already doing plenty of adapting.

This World Food Day, we’re thinking about what it would look like to make the conditions around food better instead of constantly asking people to make do with less.

No single solution gets us there. But better access, stronger public supports, community voice, and a commitment to food as a human right can move us closer.

If you believe good food should be easier to reach, learn more about the work happening in our community and how you can be part of it at metrocaring.org.

There are only so many normal icebreaker questions before things start getting… questionable.😅

At Metro Caring, every shift starts with a Gathering so we can connect before jumping into the work. And after enough Gatherings, well, finding a question no one has heard before becomes… an art form.

What’s the weirdest icebreaker question you’ve ever been asked?

And if spending a few hours with good people while helping keep fresh food moving through our community sounds like your kind of thing, we’d love to have you.🫵💚🤭

(For the record, “How much mold is too much mold?” has not made the official Gathering rotation… or at least, not yet.😅🙈

Food means something a little different to each of us.

It can remind us of home, carry traditions across generations, bring people together, or simply make an ordinary day a little better.

So, at Cornucopia, we turned the question to our guests: What does food mean to you?

Their answers are a reminder of just how much can live on and around a plate. 💚

Now we’d love to hear yours: What does food mean in your life?

Much of what we eat carries Indigenous knowledge with it, from the foods themselves to generations of knowledge about land, seeds, health, and community.

Colonization disrupted Native food systems.

Today, Indigenous communities are restoring traditional foods, returning seeds home, and strengthening food sovereignty on their own terms.

That living work deepens what the Right to Food means: access to nourishing food alongside culture, health, land, knowledge, and community power.

This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, learn more from the Indigenous communities and organizations leading this work.

We asked our guests to describe Cornucopia in one word, and one answer kept coming back: community💚

Along with fulfilling, nourishing, satisfying, and excellent, we think that says something pretty special about what we shared together!

To everyone who celebrated with us: thank you for bringing your energy, your joy, and yourselves to the table.

i And if you missed Cornucopia this year, we hope we’ll get to celebrate with you at the next one.✨

A big congratulations to Roberta Molock, recipient of Metro Caring’s 2026 Catalyst for Change Award!🎉

The Catalyst for Change Award recognizes someone whose courage and leadership inspire others to join our movement to end hunger at its root, and Ms. Roberta shows us what that leadership can look like!

As a certified peer educator with Diabetes Among Friends, Ms. Roberta has turned her own experience into support for others by making health information approachable and creating spaces where people feel welcome.

When participants wanted that support to continue beyond the program, she helped create a monthly Diabetes Support Group.

Her leadership has also reached the State Capitol, where she has advocated for greater access to diabetes prevention and education.

Congratulations, Ms. Roberta!💚May her example inspire more of us to see where our own experiences, voices, and leadership can create change.

Please join us in celebrating Pam Pieris, recipient of Metro Caring’s 2026 Passion for Change Award!🎉

With more than 200 volunteer hours in the past year alone, Pam shows up for our community in so many ways, from our Fresh Foods Market and warehouse to the State Capitol, our advisory groups, and beyond.

The Passion for Change Award recognizes a volunteer dedicated to working alongside our community to advance our mission, and Pam lives that commitment.

She gives her time and expertise generously, inspires others, and is always finding ways to connect more people to the work.

Congratulations, Pam! May her example remind us just how many ways there are to use what we have—our time, voice, skills, and passion—to make a difference.

What does voter registration have to do with hunger? More than you might think!

The decisions made by elected leaders shape things like housing, wages, healthcare, public benefits, and the food system. All of those can affect whether families have enough left for food.

Voting is one way to have a say in who makes those decisions.

Today is National Voter Registration Day. If you’re eligible, register, check your status, or update your information at GoVoteColorado.gov.

And if you have questions about voting, find trusted support at GoVoteColorado.gov
