The Old Man and the Denver Foundation are raising dollars to help families without enough to eat! Through our emergency food system, we support food pantries that operate in neighborhoods and churches throughout Metro Denver. Statistics show that these pantries have an increased need for resources during the summer months when children are out of school - for many young people, school is not just the place to learn, but also the place they will get the only nutritious meal they will have each day. With your help, we can offer grants to food pantries this May just as schools are letting out.

Please make a donation today to the Campaign for Hunger Relief. All donations are tax deductible and will be matched up to $.50 on each dollar up to $20,000 through generous gift from Little Pub Company (for a total of $30,000).

Your contribution will go a long way in combating hunger - $1 dollar buys four meals.*

In addition to helping meet immediate food supply needs, The Denver Foundation is working to address the systemic issues that are making hunger a daily challenge for an increasing number of Coloradans.
