What it is

Hands and feet in Boulder.

Food for Families is more than a service project. It's a chance to be the hands and feet of Jesus in Boulder. Every year, Food for Families lets us love our neighbors by meeting real needs and bringing hope to their doorstep. Many families are struggling right now, choosing between food, medicine, and rent. This is our opportunity to meet those needs.

Love Boulder is excited to bless families across Boulder with groceries for a Thanksgiving meal, including a gift card for a turkey, delivered right to your doorstep. Our team will personally deliver the free groceries to your home between 10am and 1pm on Saturday, November 14. It's our way of sharing love, hope, and encouragement this holiday season, and reminding you that you are seen, valued, and cared for. If you or someone you know could use some extra support, sign up to receive a delivery.
