Let’s help each other this holiday season
Right now, the Denver Food Network is working to match people who want to provide holiday support to their neighbors who would like assistance (for example, when unable to provide presents for their children.)
What is the Denver Food Network?
We are a group of neighbors who came together in late October 2025 when SNAP benefits were delayed due to the government shutdown and refusal to fund the program. At that time, we were able to help almost 70 families get groceries until SNAP benefits were reinstated. Currently, we have one main organizer plus a network of over 100 helpers.
Our main goal is to match families who’d like assistance with neighbors who want to help. We believe that by connecting neighbors, we can create stronger community bonds and learn that we can rely on each other in the face of adversity.
Right now, we are working on providing families with support for the holidays, including gifts for children, groceries, and other financial help.
After the new year, we plan to continue our effort to provide groceries and financial assistance for food (especially if new SNAP restrictions take effect.)
