🥪 Volunteers help little ones bridge the hunger gap between the meals they receive at school and the weekend, when these meals are not available.

Activities at FFT MSU take place outside, so please make sure you are dressed comfortably for both movement/lifting and the weather--layers are a good idea! 

DIRECTIONS: Take the Colfax exit from I-25 and head east. At Osage St, turn right and continue south to 13th Ave. At 13th Ave, turn right and go west about one and a half blocks to Rio Ct. Turn right onto Rio Ct and proceed north back toward Colfax. Rio Ct will start to loop west passing parallel to the Colfax viaduct but just underneath it. At 5th Street, Rio Ct becomes W. Colfax Ave. We’re on the NE corner of 5th St and Rio Ct. 
Please arrive at 7:00 am so we can chat for a minute before we start to pack, and wear comfortable clothing and layers, as things can be chilly before you get moving!

Volunteers must register here. Group code is Kristie0711

Food For Thought Denver strives to eliminate childhood hunger by providing a PowerSack for students to take home to their family for the weekend.
