Stone Soup Event: It Takes A Village

Thursday, October 16, 2025

Baldoria on the Water 146 Van Gordon St.
Lakewood, CO 80228

6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Please join us for a wonderful evening benefitting Jeffco Eats as we support Jefferson County youth by making sure they have enough to eat. Just as in the story of Stone Soup, we can all contribute a little to make a great pot of soup – or in this case, feed hungry children and families. 

We will have various soups made by local chefs available to try as well as other hearty food and a fun evening planned to network and learn more about how you can be a solution to hunger in our community. For more information on how to participate email Development@jeffcoeats.org

Our Mission:

Jeffco Eats’ mission is to reduce the number of children experiencing hunger in Jefferson County, Colorado and to increase their nutritional intake through healthy, quality foods. 

Food insecurity is at an all-time high. Its surging growth requires surging support. Jeffco Eats tackles the root causes of hunger by providing healthy, nutritious food to families and children in our community. We are strategically focused to meet needs for weekend food in high population of food insecure children in schools. In collaboration with local organizations, we are dedicated to building a stronger, healthier, and hunger-free Jefferson County. Together, we will ensure no one goes hungry and that every child and family can access the food they need to thrive.

What is Food Insecurity?

Jefferson County is the second largest school district in Colorado with an enrollment count for the 2022-23 school year at 77,092 children. Out of that number,  27,367 students qualify for free and reduced lunch. Jefferson County has 34 Title 1 schools. Jeffco Eats provides food to 76% of those schools.

There are levels of food insecurity from dire to moderate, but all affect children’s physical health, mental health, and ability to learn and prosper, making it absolutely critical to offer consistent access to nutrient-dense food.
