Our Story

Connecting the Community with Affordable Nutrition

The FoCo Food Assistance website is intended to help people facing food insecuity in the United States, with special attenton to residents of Fort Collins, CO.

The idea for the site emerged from a graduate student's Master's thesis that focused on food insecurity on Colorado State University's campus. While there are numerous food pantries and soup kitchens around town, finding them, getting to them, and being eligible for them are often an obstacle for college students.

Therefore, this site also offers not only information of the pantries and soup kitchens' hours and locations, it also provides other methods of acquiring free or discounted food in Fort Collins.

We are in the process of adding general tips that people throughout the US find helpful. You can start with our podcast, nutrition blogs, virtual coaching appointments, and government programs. 

Feedback and updates are welcome. We hope this site generates a sense of community and peace of mind knowing that help is available.
