Holiday Resources

Posted December 18, 2024

As the holiday season approaches, we want to ensure our families have access to resources and support. Below is a list of organizations offering food, gifts, and essential services. Please take note of the details and reach out to the respective organizations for assistance.

Free, Tasty Food for Denver youth to fuel their success all year long.

Denver invites youth, ages 3–18, to enjoy breakfast, lunch, supper and/or a nutritious snack. Tasty Food meals include up to five food groups that are low in fat and prepared fresh. No ID or registration required—just show up and eat. And YES…you can bring a friend, or two, or three, or more!
