Making sure our community,
has the resources they need most
We want to ensure no family or child is hungry, that they have well rounded meals, have all the ingredients to make a full meal for their family, and can access the recipes they need so they don’t have to think about what to make.
We take pride in working with local suppliers to stock our food pantry, providing locally raised and processed meat, produce from our Community Gardens, and Colorado Proud products. Everyone deserves quality and healthy food!
We also welcome donations of shelf-stable, non-expired, high-quality food items.

Very flexible and helpful! Thank you guys so much. Helped me make very positive progress for myself.
Everyone at the GED program from CP is very helpful and helped me learn a lot, and the teachers help me understand and walk through situations when it comes to math and education.
