Wherever hunger rises, so can we.
About us
Food Bank of the Rockies (FBR) was founded in 1978 and was known as the Colorado Food Clearing House. Operating from a 900-square-foot schoolroom in northwest Denver, the fledgling organization collected food from nearby Safeway stores and distributed it to one agency. Today, FBR has extended its reach across Northern Colorado and Wyoming, providing food supplies to more than 600 hunger-relief programs. Since 1978, FBR has provided food for families in need. Last year, we distributed nearly 49 million meals, enough to provide more than 134,000 meals each day. Food Bank of the Rockies is a BBB accredited charity and holds a 4-Star Rating from Charity Navigator. 96¢ of every dollar we receive goes toward our hunger relief programs. More information can be found at foodbankrockies.org.

During our recent visit to Rawlins, we had the pleasure of meeting with Mary Kay, Dee Dee, and Helen from the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, one of our Hunger Relief Partners. They emphasized the crucial role Food Bank of Wyoming plays in providing nutritious food to local communities. In small cities like Rawlins, access to nourishing food can be challenging, making the support of food pantries across these areas invaluable. Thank you to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul team for what you do and your warm welcome! 🙌

In 2016, just over a decade of serving and feeding our communities across Wyoming, Food Bank of Wyoming began the Mobile Pantry Program and holiday meal drives with the support of community donors. These mobile pantries and holiday food distributions filled a gap after Wyoming experienced a hard, economic downturn. #WyomingFoodBank #MakingADifference #SupportingOurCommunity
