Thank you to all who helped us raise money to help an immigrant family remain in their housing situation despite the father being taken by ICE.

Through our school contacts, we've heard about a family in Lakewood, and another in Edgewater, where the dad was taken by ICE. Our new goal is to raise $3,600 to help these families remain in their home and have some extra money for food and other necessities.

Donate today and let's see if we can bring the total in this Jeffco immigration support fund to $6,200!

Summer EBT Español | Colorado Department of Human Services Summer EBT (sometimes called S-EBT) is a new program that provides nutritious food to eligible students in the summer months when they are not in school.

If you want to hear it from the front lines, just know that people are fighting over food at some of our food shares.

Not because people are “bad.”
Because people are scared.

Food prices keep rising.
Benefits are shrinking.
Families are stretched beyond their limits.
And many community organizations are trying to hold the line with less funding, fewer resources, and exhausted teams.

We see the stress in real time.
Parents skipping meals.
Seniors apologizing for taking “too much.”
Volunteers trying to de-escalate situations that should never have existed in the first place.

Food insecurity doesn’t always look like empty shelves.
Sometimes it looks like tension, survival mode, and communities pushed past their breaking point.

This is why food access matters.
This is why dignity matters.
This is why investing in community care matters before systems reach crisis levels.

We’re still here.
Still showing up.
Still sharing what we can with love and urgency. ❤️

A society can often be measured by what people are forced to fight over.
