Thanks for riding alongside us. We’ll see y’all on the trail again next year. 🌵

We’re reimagining how local food systems work—together. 🥕💙

Through our Food Hub, the Action Center, and partner food pantries are expanding access to fresh, locally sourced food across the West Metro area. With our new commercial refrigerator and freezer, we can store and distribute full pallets of produce, dairy, and meat, strengthening food equity for our entire community. Join us in building a healthier, more equitable food system.

Have extra fresh food to share? We’d love to help put it to good use 💙

The Action Center Food Hub accepts bulk donations of fresh or frozen produce, dairy, meat, and protein (up to four pallets), along with pallets of clothing. Our commercial refrigerator and freezer allow us to safely store and distribute nutritious items to families in our community—supporting food security and reducing waste.

If you have more than four pallets, our partners at Food Bank of the Rockies can help coordinate larger donations.

Because of this incredible community, New Frontiers raised more than $345,000 in support of individuals and families across our community. 🤍

Every ticket purchased, paddle raised, auction bid placed, sponsorship made, and donation given helps create access to food, clothing, stability, connection, and hope for our neighbors.

To everyone who showed up, gave generously, volunteered, and believed in this mission: thank you. This impact belongs to all of us.

We are deeply grateful to continue building a stronger, more connected community together. 🌵✨
