Metro Caring is our recipient for Giving in Action this Sunday, June 16th.
At Metro Caring, we know that Coloradans don’t go hungry because of a lack of food. Coloradans go hungry because they can’t afford to put food on the table. Unaffordable housing, low wages, an industrialized food system, and centuries of racism and oppression are some of the leading causes that force people to go hungry.
In addition to our grocery-store-style fresh food, we have Community Connectors onsite to refer folks to partner organizations for other needs. We offer free cooking clubs and nutrition classes – in addition to our community gardens. By investing in community wealth building, organizing our community leaders, and exploring innovative solutions to our food system, we know that, together, we can end hunger at its root.
