Calling volunteers and neighbors in need! We’re holding two large Mobile Food Pantry distributions outside both our Colorado Springs and Pueblo facilities this Saturday, November 9th and next Saturday, November 16th from 12-4 p.m.

Care and Share has two big goals: Saving 380,000 lbs. of highly nutritious food and supplying more than 1,000 neighbors. This abundance of food is a result of the trade mitigation and the tariffs placed on farmers preventing them to send it overseas. The timing works — as we start the holiday season when budgets are tight, we’re able to offer ample fresh produce and grocery staples ready for large-scale distributions to families and individuals.

VOLUNTEERS
If you’d like to volunteer to help us, please sign up for a a 10:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. shift for either or both weekends at one of our distribution centers. For this opportunity, we ask for volunteers ages 16 and up.
